Past performance from December 4, 2022: Join Choral Union LTD – directed by Richard Severing as we perform ELIJAH, AN ORATORIO BY FELIX MENDELSSOHN

Elijah (German: Elias), Op. 70, MWV A 25, is an oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn depicting events in the life of the Prophet Elijah as told in the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings of the Old Testament. It premiered on 26 August 1846 at Birmingham Town Hall in its English version, conducted by the composer, and it was immediately acclaimed a classic of the genre.
