An afternoon of Bach and Mendelssohn

While we didn't go to the Bach museum but we did go to St. Thomas Church where Johann Sebastian Bach served as musical director of the Thomanerchor, now an internationally known boys' choir founded in Leipzig in 1212. The church includes a mini display of some of his pieces and musical instruments.

Next stop was Mendelssohn-Haus. This is the house where 19th-century composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy lived and died. While it is small, it is well done as it includes an interactive exhibit as well as a music listening room.

Mendehlssohn traveled quite a bit and this was his traveling case

Now that we were well versed in composers, it was time for our last stop . . .
