Re: Bachfest Leipzig 2024; In the Footsteps of Bach tour

Dear Aryeh ? I already knew about that Guide (one of so many wonderful resources on your amazing website). ? I will suggest to Hayllar Music Tours that they alert all participants to it well before departure, so people can read up about the various destinations, watch the videos, (re)familiarise themselves with music that was written there, and so on. ? Many thanks Melissa ?

Subject: Re: [BML] Bachfest Leipzig 2024; In the Footsteps of Bach tour? Dear Melissa Raven,
Almost everything you need to know about every place associated with Bach or planning a Bach tour is presented in the Guide to Bach Tour on the BCW:
The section includes, among other things: Life History of J.S. Bach; Performance Dates of J.S. Bach¡¯s Vocal Works; Maps; Places associated with Bach; Route Suggestions; Discussions of Bach Tour.
Enjoy,

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? ? Melissa Raven ? ?
