In the Land of Bach and Handel: Duke Chapel Choir Tours Germany

Choir in Germany

Members of the Duke Chapel Choir are pictured dressed for a concert in the St. Johann church in Erding, Germany. Over the winter break, the choir is on a 10-day “American Celebration of Music in Germany” tour, with concerts and recitals in Munich, Regensburg, Leipzig and Berlin. They also visited the city of Halle, the birthplace of the composer George Frederic Handel. In Leipzig on Jan. 2, they performed a concert at St. Nicholas Church, one of the churches for which Johann Sebastian Bach composed his music.

The tour ends Wednesday.
