Don’t miss Symphony Nova Scotia’s first-ever performance of this massive, majestic tour de force, Mendelssohn's magnum opus!
FULL DESCRIPTION

It’s a massive, majestic tour de force, the runaway smash hit of its day, and a blaze of fire and brimstone and beauty. Nova Scotia’s own Jeff Joudrey leads Symphony Nova Scotia and an 80-voice chorus in Felix Mendelssohn’s most iconic creation: Elijah. Praised as a “complete triumph” at its rapturous premiere in 1846, Elijah is the rich, rip-roaring tale of an ancient prophet who braves vicious enemies, wrathful gods, and the depths of grief to rise victorious in a chariot of fire. Don’t miss Symphony Nova Scotia’s first-ever performance of this magnificent magnum opus.
