Leipzig was a fantastic city! From getting to see St. Thomas church where Bach composed and performed to walking around exploring the city was truly amazing. When I had free time I was out shopping and enjoyed the city. On one of the days, I stopped in a really old bookstore where they had tons of old scores and manuscripts. One of the highlights of my time in Leipzig was seeing an organ performance and demonstration in St. Thomas church. It was really amazing getting to see an organ performance in Bach’s church next to his grave.
We also got to see some amazing performances in Leipzig. My favorite performance was a ballet of Rachmaninov’s piano concertos 3 and 2. Watching the dancers perform Rachmaninov’s music that wasn’t originally set to choreography was extremely interesting. We also got to see the Gewandhaus orchestra play Brahms's first symphony which was both powerful and extremely well done. Going to Leipzig was a fantastic experience from attending amazing concerts to just walking around.
