A special opportunity to study the organ music of Bach in venues he knew intimately. Please note the early start and late end times meaning that travel to and from Leipzig will need to be on adjacent days.
This study trip is aimed at organists of diploma level and provides an ideal professional development opportunity for professional players as well as enrichment for the serious amateur. Places are available for both players and observers. Players are asked to prepare repertoire in accordance with the titles of the classes. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Participants are responsible for making and paying for their own arrangements for travel and accommodation as well as meeting the cost of subsistence over the two days.
