In celebration of its 70th anniversary, the Jersey Festival Choir perform Mendelssohn's 'Elijah' conducted by James Southall.

Dramatic, powerful, and deeply moving, Elijah is one of the great masterpieces of the choral repertoire. Telling the epic biblical story of the prophet Elijah, the music moves effortlessly from moments of fiery intensity and confrontation to passages of profound beauty, reflection, and hope. Towering choruses, lyrical arias, and richly expressive orchestral writing combine to create an unforgettable concert experience.
This special anniversary performance brings together choir, orchestra, and soloists for an evening of large-scale choral music at its most thrilling. Whether you are a long-time lover of choral music or discovering Elijah for the first time, this concert promises drama, emotion, and musical excellence in abundance.
