Mendelssohn: Elijah - Autumn Concert 2024

Guildford Choral at GLive - Saturday 9th November 730pm

Mendelssohn’s timeless masterpiece, his oratorio about the life of the Prophet Elijah, continues to captivate audiences the world over. With its grand choruses, expressive solo arias, and dramatic orchestral passages, Elijah stands as an epic musical achievement. 

Guildford Choral, under the baton of renowned Musical Director, Jonathan Willcocks, will be joined by four superb soloists, including baritone Gareth Brynmor John, winner in 2013 of Britain’s most prestigious singing competition, the Kathleen Ferrier Award.

Also performing alongside the choir will be professional chamber orchestra Southern Pro Musica.

We are one of the longest established choirs in England, and have built up a reputation as a dynamic, forward-looking and ambitious amateur choir.

With over 140 auditioned members, all sharing a passion for singing and a drive to achieve high standards, we rehearse on Thursday evenings in Guildford to work towards presenting four or five concerts each year.
