Norwalk Concert Hall ~ 125 East Avenue, Norwalk CT 06851

 

Co-produced with the Fairfield County Chorale, we end our season with Felix Mendelssohn’s “Elijah,” the powerful and dramatic oratorio that brings the Old Testament prophet to life through vivid music and masterful storytelling. With soaring arias, majestic choruses, and remarkable emotional depth, it stands as one of the greatest choral masterpieces of the Romantic era. Elijah captivates audiences with its blend of lyrical beauty and intense theatricality, making it a favorite for choirs and orchestras worldwide, and is a marker of the composer’s pride in his Jewish heritage. Experience the spiritual and musical brilliance of Mendelssohn at his finest in this sublime work.
