Elisabeth Breuer live in Leipzig

Experience Elisabeth Breuer live on June 12th

Elisabeth Breuer, a German composer and pianist, will perform at Thomaskirche in Leipzig on June 12, 2026. Breuer’s musical style is characterized by a contemporary approach to classical composition, often incorporating elements of minimalism and spectral music. Her work frequently explores the relationship between sound, space, and perception, utilizing extended piano techniques and unconventional harmonic structures. She is recognized for compositions that are both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant.

Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) holds significant historical and cultural importance as the church most closely associated with Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach served as Thomaskantor – music director – from 1723 until his death in 1750, composing many of his major choral works for the church’s use. The current building dates primarily from the late 15th century, though it has undergone several renovations throughout its history. It stands on a site occupied by churches since the Romanesque period. Beyond its association with Bach, Thomaskirche has been a central location for Protestant worship and civic life in Leipzig for centuries and remains an active place of worship today.
