Beccles Choral Society sings Elijah Beccles Choral Society recently enjoyed two highly acclaimed sell-out concerts before Christmas, with Handel’s oratorio ‘Messiah’ followed by their seasonal offering ‘A Christmas Cracker’. Now they are preparing for their final concert for the 2019/2020 season. On May 17th at 4.30pm they will perform Mendelssohn’s ‘Elijah’ at St. Michael’s Church Beccles. This has been described as ‘the oratorio of all oratorios’, possibly the most spectacular plot in the classical choral repertoire, a musical drama on an epic scale, depicting God’s vengeance through the prophet Elijah upon the wickedness of the people of Israel, their ruler and their false gods. With a large choir and orchestra, together with five professional soloists, this performance promises to wring every emotion from what was the culmination of Mendelssohn’s life’s work. Tickets, £15 ( free to under 16s) from Beccles Bookshop, any choir member, or from Cheryl Coutts, email: cherylcoutts468@btinternet.com or telephone: 01502 714655
