The Bach Festival in Leipzig is heading for a record number of visitors this year, according to the organizers. If the weather cooperates, it could even break the 100,000 visitor mark, director Michael Maul told the German Press Agency. From June 11 to 21, the festival will offer fans of Johann Sebastian Bach around 200 concerts and events under the motto "In Dialogue".
The interest is unbroken and Bach fans are coming from all over the world, Maul emphasized. "We have sold around 42 percent of tickets abroad, to more than 50 countries." The average age of visitors is therefore just under 62. "But the guests from abroad are getting younger and younger," emphasized the director.
