Klassik Open Air in Leipzig Today

This is Leipzig's "new" city hall - built fin de siècle /Das neue Rathaus. The old mediaeval city wall is a part of this building /Zum Bau gehören Teile des m.a. Stadtmauers.
Die Thomaskirche vom Thomaskirchhof gesehen /St. Thomas Church - built in the 1200s and the place Johann Sebastian Bach worked and performed his works for the last 27 yrs. of his life.
A beautiful relief across from the St. Thomas Church
The old stock exchange and a statue of Goethe - here the afternoon concert was opened /Die Eröffnung des Nachmittagskonzerts fand hier in der Alten Handelsbörse statt.
Die Thomaskirche von der anderen Seite / St. Thomas Church from the other side
In this restaurant a string Quintet played - but hard to see here/Im Paulanerhof spielte ein Streichquartett - leider schwer im Foto zu erkennen.
Das Alte Rathaus - the "old" city hall von 15 Jh. from the 15th century.
Im Specks Hof spielten diese beiden Werke von Danzy und J.S. Bach /In Speck's Hof these two played works of Franz Danzy and J.S. Bach
This afternoon I took advantage of a free concert in interesting places in the city centre of Leipzig. The Gewandhausorchester opened the season with several miniconcerts in different historical locations in the inner city. This is a world-class orchestra, and gives me another reason to love the cultural life in leipzig. On the way back home I indulged in TWO scoops of Italian ice cream - one peppermint and the other chocolate nougat - wish you were here!
