With a nearly 800 year-old history, the boys choir of the St Thomas Church in Leipzig is one of the oldest as well as leading ensembles in the German choral tradition.

The choir is one of the foremost interpreters of the legacy of its famed choirmaster, composer Johann Sebastian Bach – who during his 27 year tenure there composed his most important works – and who built it into an institution of artistic excellence.

In Singapore, the 55-member-strong choir accompanied by an organist will perform the works of Bach as well as Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, composer and conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in his time, on the occasion of the bicentennial of the latter’s birth.
