Mendelssohn’s Elijah is Coming - The Back Bay Chorale

Not exactly “Eli’s Coming” by Three Dog Night, its even better. Its Mendelssohn’s Elijah sung by The Back Bay Chorale. As they said, “The Old Testament is hardly short of drama, but the story of Elijah still stands out – there’s idol-worship, windstorms, a “my God is better than your god” competition, rain after endless drought, and the assumption of Elijah himself into heaven on a fiery chariot. Now imagine that all set to music by one of the great composers of the Romantic Era – Felix Mendelssohn.” It will blow away those three dogs anytime.

The Back Bay Chorale will present one of the great 19th century choral masterworks in a superb concert hall with world-class soloists and instrumentalists on Friday May 30th, the Friday after Memorial Day at 8PM (pre-concert talk at 7 p.m.).

It will be at Sanders Theatre on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge. You can go to the Back Bay Chorale site for details.
