| Bach's Church, Saint Thomas |

| Playing our violins, with Bach's statue behind us |
Today we spent a lot of time in downtown Leipzig. We saw the church (Saint Thomas) where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as cantor and organist. (JS Bach was a Baroque composer who wrote mostly church music in the early 1700's.) We listened to a concert (called a Mottet) in the church that included several Bach pieces, and then my brother and I played our violins on the street. It was a cool experience to play Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in front of his statue, in front of the church where he worked and played for over two decades.
