Full details of this trip are available from Downloads section of the website. What follows is only the outline. The Organ School visits Bach’s own church, St Thomas’s, Leipzig and St Wenzel, Naumburg, where the 1746 Hildebrandt organ was personally approved (and possibly part-designed) by Bach himself. Wednesday afternoon’s class in Naumburg, given by St Wenzel’s organist David Franke, is preceded by an optional recital and organ tour; we then return by train to Leipzig for a class on Thursday morning with Ullrich Böhme at St Thomas’s. The itinerary also allows time to visit St Nicholaikirche in Leipzig (the other church in Leipzig where Bach worked), and the extensive and scholarly Bach Museum in Leipzig. Our preparation sheet suggests travel and accommodation options which you book independently. Bursaries may be available; please outline your circumstances. This trip is suitable only for those over 18 years old. (ABRSM Grade 7 and above)
