Join us as we kick off our European tour with concerts in the Twin Cities on June 7 & 8!
Exultate Chamber Choir and Orchestra has been invited to perform at Bachfest Leipzig, the premier Bach festival in the world! Our performance will be inside St. Thomas Church just feet from where Johann Sebastian Bach is buried.
The Bachfest Leipzig takes place annually in the month of June in the city of Leipzig, Germany, where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as the Thomaskantor from 1723 until his death in 1750. We are honored to be among the accomplished musicians from around the world chosen to be part of Bachfest 2025.
Come hear some of the repertoire we will be performing on tour with concerts in Berlin (2), Leipzig, Köthen, and Eisenach Germany and Prague in the Czech Republic. In addition to the music of J.S. Bach, concerts will include European Masterworks, American Masterworks and American folk songs and spirituals – Something for everyone!
