Saxony is the most popular destination in Germany for culture-loving tourists, and music is a big reason for this. A journey through the musical history of Saxony is an encounter with great names and a rich musical legacy. It is still possible today to walk in the footsteps of famous musical instrument manufacturers, composers and musicians. Most of the places where they lived and worked have been preserved to the present day and their art is still nurtured. But the musical history of Saxony is also still being written, not only by world-famous ensembles like St Thomas Boys Choir in Leipzig or the Saxon State Orchestra in Dresden, and not only at such famous venues as the Gewandhaus Concert Hall or the Semper Opera House. Young and up-coming musicians are also creating new art performed in unusual locations and new musical genres are asserting themselves alongside the established styles. Let yourself to be transported on a musical journey through Saxony and you will soon realize that Saxony is indeed the state of the arts.
