Schola Cantorum Leipzig

The Hausmusikabende of the Schola Cantorum Leipzig have, since 2013, continued the tradition of communal singing and music-making in family and friends' circles of the Biedermeier period of the 19th century. Set in the historic ambiance of the Mendelssohn House in Leipzig, they offer members of the choirs, parents, music educators and guests a platform twice a year to publicly perform, in various ensembles, what has been practiced and learned in voice training, singing or instrumental lessons.

To kick off the busy Christmas season, the Schola Cantorum has invited audiences to an evening of music in the Upper Promenade Hall of the Neues Rathaus every year since 2015. This evening, the seven choirs of the Schola Cantorum present a varied program of Christmas music.
