It's not easy even to begin to explain what a huge part Weimar, the little Thuringian town played in European culture. It was the hometown of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and it was one of the most important center of classicism in Europe. Schiller, Herder, Liszt, Richard Strauss, Nietzsche also lived and worked there. Johann Sebastian Bach composed there for 10 years and Felix Mendelssohn started his carreer there, too. Weimar is a central part of the classical culture. At the end of December the Saint Ephraim Male Choir takes the audience of the Budapest Music Center to this town, Weimar to experience its unique history and culture.
