Mendelssohn's ELIJAH

I'd like to announce a concert coming up at my church (Christ Church St Laurence). I'm hoping this is ok ... if not, moderators will delete.

This Saturday and Sunday at 3pm. Mendelssohn's Elijah. The Christ Church St Laurence Choir (who are wonderful) and the orchestra is made up with people from the Sydney Symphony and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra. Full scoring used - including Ophecleide!!

Please do come and hear this delicious oratorio. It's the 200th anniversary of Felix' birth ... which is why we're putting it on.

Here are some rehearsal photos (notice where Elijah is singing from) ... sorry, they're a little on the dark side, such is the nature of church photography.

Sadly the trombones, trumpets, opheclide and timpani are out of view in the general photo ... hidden behind the pulpit.

Great photos CT64, - I particularly like the one with the stained glass window at the back. Hope the performance was well attended.
