Prestbury Choral Society Spring Concert

Prestbury Choral Society

Prestbury Choral Society is in good voice for their forthcoming concert, Elijah, by Felix Mendelssohn, a powerful oratorio that captures the dramatic life of the biblical prophet, Elijah, as depicted in the Old Testament. It is characterised by its vivid storytelling through music, with the oratorio's narrative unfolding in a series of dramatic scenes that convey the prophet's journey. The music is both grand and intimate, reflecting Elijah's public triumphs and personal struggles. Elijah is celebrated for its expressive solo arias and powerful choral movements, leaving a lasting impact on audiences and performers alike.
