Hello fellow Bachphiles
?
Is anyone attending Bachfest Leipzig next June?
?
I will be attending, for the first time (my first time in Germany too).

I was planning to go to Weimar, Arnstadt etc. after Leipzig. But last week, I found out about a tour organised by Hayllar Music Tours (based here in Australia), which seems to have been conceived with me in mind
(I¡¯m sure I will not be the only person who thinks that):
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF BACH
4¨C17 JUNE 2024 (14 DAYS) | 11 CONCERTS AS PART OF THE PRESTIGIOUS BACHFEST LEIPZIG, EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE TALKS & EXPLORATIONS OF WEIMAR, LEIPZIG & TOWNS AND CITIES WHERE BACH LIVED, COMPOSED & PERFORMED
This scintillating tour provides an exploration of Johann Sebastian Bach¡¯s life and music by taking you on a journey, with an expert guide, through the towns and cities where he lived, worked and performed. It culminates in Bachfest Leipzig providing
you with many opportunities to hear his glorious music at a variety of stunning venues by world-class musicians. The tour also provides a picturesque tour of historic Central Germany, the chance to stay in luxurious hotels, to travel in comfort and to enjoy
delicious meals. It is a tour to stimulate the mind and delight the senses.

Is anyone else from Australia (or perhaps New Zealand, or elsewhere) going/considering going on this?
