The Thomanerchor Leipzig can look back on a history of over 800 years. Composers from all eras have written works for the famous choir. The motets by Johann Sebastian Bach, the most famous St Thomas‘ cantor in its long history, are just as much a part of the core repertoire of the Thomanerchor as many choral works by other St Thomas’ cantors. In this concert, the choir presents a cross-section of choral music from all eras, with works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Heinrich Schütz, Thomas Tallis, Antonio Lotti sowie zeitgenössischen Motetten von Ivo Antognini, Vytautas Miškinis und Knut Nystedt, among others.
