Why Leipzig?
Leipzig is undeniably a city with a rich musical tradition. Often associated with Johann Sebastian Bach, this city offers a vibrant musical life that extends far beyond the baroque. During the Sjostakovitsj Festival, Leipzig becomes the epicenter of Russian classical music. The festival pays tribute to the composer by highlighting his work in all its facets. From
intense piano works and moving song cycles to grand symphonies and operas, all genres in which Sjostakovitsj excelled are covered.
This festival is not only a treat for seasoned Sjostakovitsj fans, but also a perfect opportunity to discover his versatile oeuvre. Moreover, the organizers have invited only
top musicians, which elevates the experience to an even higher level.
