A rare performance of Edward Elgar's choral masterpiece with two choirs, orchestra and soloists at Snape Maltings Concert Hall
Prepare to have your heart strings tugged by the sheer beauty and emotion of what is considered to be Elgar's finest choral work.This exciting musical event brings together 200 musicians including 2 choirs from the north and south of Suffolk, joined by the Lambeth Orchestra at Snape Maltings Concert Hall on Saturday 13th May, 2017 at 7:30 pm.
Geoff Lavery brings his formidable talent and experience as a musical director and conductor to the production which features soloists Claire Weston (former principal soprano with English National Opera), Richard Edgar-Wilson (internationally acclaimed tenor) and Philip Tebb (outstanding oratorio bass soloist).
Elgar wrote The Dream of Gerontius in 1900. The work is set to a poem by John Henry Newman that describes a soul's journey through death to find enlightenment and the glory of God, guided by an Angel. Elgar himself wrote: “I have written my heart's blood into the score."
