Mendelssohn’s dramatic oratorio Elijah stands as a cornerstone of the choral repertoire, combining narrative intensity with moments of lyrical beauty. Rich in character and contrast, the work brings to life the story of the Old Testament prophet through powerful choruses, intimate arias, and vivid orchestral writing.

Through a presentation that showcases the expressive force of chorus, soloists, and orchestra, this performance offers a compelling musical and dramatic experience. From the grandeur of the great choruses to the quiet intimacy of reflection and prayer, Elijah invites audiences into a deeply human story of faith, doubt, and resilience.

Presented by Brisbane Chamber Choir in collaboration with Brisbane Chamber Players, leading soloists, this performance promises both musical excellence and emotional impact.

Ed Lebrocq will be giving a pre-concert talk at 1.30pm in the Conservatorium Theatre.
