Mendelssohn’s Elijah

Mendelssohn’s powerful choral masterpiece brings to life some of the most dramatic moments in the Old Testament. Fire comes from the heavens, storms gather, and the people cry for vengeance. From the prophet’s curse of drought, to confronting an evil queen, to an ascent into heaven on a fiery chariot, Elijah is an extraordinary musical experience. Soloists Jamal Sarikoki, Olivia Vote, David Tayloe, Jessica Beebe, and Key Chorale will retell the story of a man’s devotion in one of the greatest oratorios ever written.
