choir Leipzig Gewandhaus to perform in Romania
Musical exploration in Transylvania
From July 4-13, 2026, the Gewandhaus Choir will perform in Romania. The tour will take the singers to the Evangelical Church of Saint Margaret in Mediaș, the Reformed Church in the City Center in Cluj-Napoca, the Black Church in Brașov, and the Evangelical Parish Church in Sibiu – in a region of Europe whose history has been shaped for centuries by Romanian, Hungarian, and German influences. In Mediaș, the Gewandhaus Choir will perform together with the local church choir. Before arriving in Romania, the choir will stop at the Evangelical Church in Deutsch Jahrndorf (Austria).
