The Bach Journey followed the composer's life in various locations.
We travelled to Thuringia and Saxony to hear the music of JS Bach in the places associated with the composer. The holiday was well organised, and the musical performances were of a high standard. The venues and churches in which the music was performed were a delight. The holiday was a truly a feast for lovers of this composer's music.

Bach's music in his home towns
We toured Thuringia; starting in Eisenaach where Bach was born, and visiting the towns where he lived and worked (ohrduf, Arnstadt, Weimar, Leipzig. We heard concerts and choirs in local churches and halls in these locales. The tours was expertly run by helpful efficient and pleasant guides. The choice of music and musicians was superb.

Rating for tour operator:Martin Randall a top world renowned tour operator providing a wide range of cultural, music, art, archaeology, food and walking holidays
Outstandingly good. Fascinating subject dealt with in an exemplary fashion.
The holiday was called "Poet & the Somme". The nature of trench warfare was clearly explained by an talented lecturer with a deep knowledge of the subject. Many relevant sites were visited to show the various aspects of WWI. A professional actor read poems in their context - a very poignant experience. The visit to Thiepval Memorial, which incorporated a personal tribute to a member of the group's family, was particularly moving.
