The final performance in Keswick Choral Society’s busy 2018-19 season will be a performance of Mendelssohn’s Elijah, one of the greatest oratorios in the choral repertoire. First performed in 1846 to rapturous acclaim by an audience of 2,000, and then many times over the following hundred years, it fell out of favour after WW2 but in recent years has regained popularity.
The concert will take place in St John’s Church, Keswick, on Saturday 11 May 2019 at 7.30 pm.
Rachel Little (soprano)
Amy Shaw (mezzo-soprano)
Christopher Steele (tenor)
Paul im Thurn (bass)
Ian Pattinson (organ)
Ian Hare (conductor)
