Leipzig Leipzig

Angelic voices soar at the revered St. Thomas Church as the Boys Choir performs Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor. The great German composer’s influence on this jubilant Saxon town has been vast, and throughout the past several centuries, Leipzig has enjoyed acclaim as a dynamic center of art and culture. The Museum of Fine Arts’ extraordinary glass cube leads to one of Europe’s most emblematic town halls. Red geraniums tumble from the windows of this 16th century building at the head of Market Square, a cobblestone expanse once trod by the likes of Wagner, Mendelssohn, and Schuman. Home of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989, Leipzig resonates with the legacies of some of history’s greatest intellectuals.
