Bachfest Leipzig
The Bachfest Leipzig (Leipzig Bach Festival) is a music festival which takes place annually, in the month of June,[1] in the city of Leipzig, where J. S. Bach worked as the Thomaskantor from 1723 until his death in 1750. The current artistic director is Professor Michael Maul.[2]
The city first hosted a festival in 1904, for the Neue Bachgesellschaft, and then formally, since 1908.[3] The festival was sometimes referred to as the Script error: No such module "Lang". (Bach Weeks) or Script error: No such module "Lang". (Bach Days). Since 1999, the festival has been organized by the Bach Archive on behalf of the city of Leipzig, each year under a different theme.
Each year there are approximately 100 individual events during the Bach Festival, beginning with an opening concert conducted by the serving Thomaskantor. The final concert is traditionally a performance of Bach's Mass in B minor in the St. Thomas Church.
