Join us for a towering performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah: an epic oratorio brimming with drama, power, and divine revelation. With full orchestra, stunning soloists, and nearly a hundred voices strong, this concert brings to life the prophet’s struggle against doubt, drought, and despair in one of the most riveting sacred works ever composed.
From whispered prayers to blazing choral climaxes, Elijah is a masterwork of biblical proportions — both intimate and immense, human and holy. Mendelssohn poured the final years of his life into this piece, and it shows: every scene pulses with an almost cinematic urgency, from the fire-and-brimstone contest on Mount Carmel to the still, small voice that follows the storm. This is music that doesn’t just tell a story; it puts you inside one.
Come experience the storm, the silence, and the triumph. And stay for a pie reception to follow — because what better way to celebrate Pi Day than with Schola?
