Established in the year 1212, Bach led the choir for 27 years and together they premiered countless of his works. The St. Thomas Boys Choir continues as a major institution in Germany: they maintain their own school just a stone's throw from the St. Thomas church, they regularly perform with the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and they've even been featured on a postage stamp! The choir will tour with the Leipzig Baroque Orchestra, with whom they've recorded the B Minor Mass. Their program includes works of Leipzig composers including Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and Max Reger. Click here for complete program information.
