A bold tribute to the City of Bach and Peaceful Revolution on the Pleisse where Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony and one of Germany's great cultural and commercial metropolises, holds a place of permanent honour in the history of music as the city where Johann Sebastian Bach served as Thomaskantor at the Thomaskirche from 1723 until his death in 1750, composing there the St Matthew Passion, the St John Passion, and the Mass in B Minor while training the choir of the Thomas Boys Choir that still performs his works in the church where he is buried, where Felix Mendelssohn founded the Leipzig Conservatory in 1843 and where Richard Wagner was born, and where Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra, founded in 1743, is one of the oldest and most distinguished symphony orchestras in the world, and where the Monday Demonstrations of autumn 1989, when tens of thousands of Leipzig citizens took to the streets around the Nikolaikirche in peaceful protest against the East German Communist regime, played a decisive role in the fall of the Berlin Wall and the peaceful revolution that ended the Cold War in Europe.
