Every year since 1904, Bach fans have descended on Leipzig for Leipzig Bach Festival, AKA Bachfest, a celebration of the ingenious music of Johann Sebastian Bach, in the city where the composer spent the high point of his career. 

Bach’s music and more at Leipzig Bach Festival

Leipzig Bach Festival is strikingly diverse. Far from simply being a set of public concerts, it draws Bach fans from across the world to experience concert trips in diverse Bach venues, and a series of lectures to round it off. This year focuses on the theme of "Transformation" and sees numerous Bach choirs from all over the world travel to Leipzig to perform in a number of choral cantata concerts and other exciting musical events. 

A celebration of Bach’s life's work

Bach was a champion of both church music and music for the royal court. During his career, Bach composed works for four different royal courts - Weimar, Köthen, Dresden and Berlin - and masterpieces from these periods of his life will be part of the programme. 

World-class musicians at Leipzig Bach Festival

The high-calibre musicians are second to none in this year’s Bachfest. Here are a few of the big names performing at the festival:

  • Thomanerchor
  • Gewandhaus Orchestra
  • Mondeverdi Choir
  • English Baroque Soloists
  • Sir John Eliot Gardiner
