Concert by the Leipzig Thomanerchor in the Alexanderkirche Wildeshausen for the 40th anniversary of the Kulturkreis on June 29, 2026
The Leipzig Thomanerchor will perform on Monday, June 29, 2026, at 8 PM in the Alexanderkirche Wildeshausen. The occasion is the 40th anniversary of the Kulturkreis Wildeshausen, which is celebrating its jubilee with one of Germany's most important boys' choirs.
The Thomanerchor was founded in Leipzig in 1212 and has been associated with St. Thomas Church and the tradition of Johann Sebastian Bach for over 800 years. Its performance in Wildeshausen is one of the musical highlights in the Lower Saxony concert year 2026. Ticket sales begin on April 4, 2026, at Bökers am Markt.
The Thomanerchor zu Leipzig is one of the oldest boys' choirs in Germany and one of the most renowned worldwide. From 1723 to 1750, Johann Sebastian Bach was Thomaskantor — the choir's tradition is inextricably linked with his work. To this day, the choir cultivates sacred repertoire with a focus on Bach, Mendelssohn, and the tradition of Protestant church music.
The Alexanderkirche Wildeshausen is the central city church and, with its historic interior, a recognized concert venue. Its acoustics are particularly suitable for choral music with small to medium-sized ensembles. With the performance of the Thomanerchor, the Alexanderkirche becomes the stage for a nationally significant musical event.
The Kulturkreis Wildeshausen celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026. Since its founding in the 1980s, it has been committed to providing a rich concert program in Wildeshausen — from chamber music and choral concerts to larger symphony concerts in cooperation with other organizations. The Thomanerchor performance is the flagship event of its anniversary year.
Ticket sales begin on April 4, 2026, at Bökers am Markt in Wildeshausen — the city's traditional ticket outlet. Due to the supra-regional attention of this event, early booking is strongly recommended.
