Sunday 5 April 2020 – 7.30pm
St John's Church, Buxton
Mendelssohn — Elijah
This milestone in the choral repertoire has never fallen in popularity since its first performance at the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival in 1846. It pays homage to the works of Bach and Handel in its form and the dramatic inclusion of a contest of the Gods, the resurrection of a dead youth and the invocation of rain to a parched Israel ensures a gripping performance throughout.
Philip Smith – baritone (Elijah)
Claire Seaton — soprano
Susanna Spicer – mezzo-soprano
Andrew Mackenzie Wicks – tenor
