Elijah comes to the De La Warr!
Bexhill Choral Society invite everyone to their Spring Concert, the Oratorio Elijah, during the early May Bank Holiday weekend at the De La Warr Pavilion
The performance of Felix Mendelssohn's breathtaking Oratorio Elijah will take place at the iconic De La Warr Pavilion on Saturday May 2nd at 7.30pm.
The famous work brings to life the dramatic biblical story of Elijah. Written in 1846 for the Birmingham Music Festival, it remains one of Mendelssohn's most popular compositions with its thrilling choruses, lyrical solos and dramatic orchestral passages.
Through scenes of drought, wind and earthquakes, torrents of rain and then stillness, Elijah brings peace and order before finally ascending to heaven in a fiery chariot!
The Choral Society will be accompanied by the Sussex Concert Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Roberts and the soloists will be Kristy Swift (soprano), Louisa Hunter Bradley (mezzo soprano), Kristian Thorkildsen (tenor) and Peter Grevatt (baritone).
Tickets may be obtained from choir members, Second Spin in Sackville Road (cash only) or from the De La Warr Pavilion box office. Prices start from £19.00 and there are special concessions of £7.00 for students and children under 16.
Bexhill Choral Society is a friendly non-audition choir and warmly welcomes new members. We usually perform 3 concerts each year and rehearse on Wednesday evenings at Little Common Community Centre under our renowned Director of Music Kenneth Roberts, accompanied by well known local pianist and organist Nigel Howard.
