RI Civic Chorale & Orchestra + WPI Choirs Present Mendelssohn's "Elijah" (Providence, RI)
Join us for a monumental performance of one of the large-scale choral masterworks!
The Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra collaborates with musicians from Worcester Polytechnic Institute to close their season with one of the greatest works in choral repertoire, Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah. Recognizable for its powerful drama and excitement, this work is balanced with intimate moments of the Prophet Elijah. We see not only a man of profound faith and strength, but one who struggled with loneliness and weariness when not in the public light. It is a relatable and moving story of the human experience.
For this monumental work, Music Director Joshua W. Rohde brings together forces from across New England for an inter generational performance of students, amateurs, and professionals totaling nearly 300 on the stage. The message of perseverance and hope amid despair, balanced with the overwhelming adrenaline of so many musicians, will make this an event not to miss.
- Saturday, April 6 at 7pm - Cathedral of Sts. Peter & Paul, Providence, RI
- Sunday, April 7 at 3pm - First Baptist Church, Worcester, MA
