The Theatrical Mendelssohn: Elijah
Sun, April 23, 2023 | 3 pm
This dramatic oratorio tells the story of the prophet Elijah in a series of scenes, including the resurrection of a youth, a contest between the prophets of Baal and Elijah, the plotting of Queen Jezebel against Elijah, and Elijah’s final ascension into heaven. Mendelssohn imitates the great oratorios of Bach and Handel. Conducted by Thomas Davies, Elijah is performed in two parts, with a dramatic overture to begin the action.

About
Our Story
Kind Words
from our friends
I can’t thank you and the Chorale enough for that wonderful concert. It more than made up for the two plus years’ delay. It seems to me that the Chorale is now singing at it’s very best…
I just want to thank you for a beautiful performance Sunday evening. It was stunning “Perfection pure”. Thank you to the chorus, orchestra and soloists -a splendid job!!
The Faure Requiem was exquisite! Woven gossamer! The acoustics enabled one to appreciate the delicate texture of the work. Huzzah for the Sopranos! They sounded like boy sopranos…such straight tone! Soloists were great! Congratulations to you and your leadership. Tears of joy were shed by many including me.
The French Connection was superb! Beautiful singing, strong directing. Worth driving four hours. Congratulations, and thank you.
