Collegium Vocale Leipzig

In December 1993, at the suggestion of Gewandhaus organist Michael Schönheit, singing graduates and students met with the Leipzig Vocal Soloists and the Leipzig Bach Soloists to perform Bach's Christmas Oratorio in the historic spa gardens of Bad Lauchstädt. The enthusiasm of the young singers and the success of these concerts prompted the founding of the Collegium Vocale Leipzig.
