Mineola Choral Society presents Mendelssohn's Elijah

This year, the Mineola Choral Society invites you to an exciting afternoon of classical choral music.

On January 29 at 3:00 p.m., our 50-voice chorus, together with professional soloists and orchestra will present Mendelssohn’s "Elijah" in the beautiful and acoustically excellent sacred space of the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City. Mendelssohn composed Elijah as a work of fierce dramatic impact that conveys his interpretation of the prophet’s story in the emotion, power and intensity of his music, sometimes expressing deep tenderness and love, and other times evoking images of violent fire, flood and whirlwind.

Plan to join us and experience the imaginative orchestration, the spontaneity and energy, the drama, and the sheer beauty of the arias and choruses that embody this masterwork. Tickets are $20; $15 for seniors and students. For information, call (516) 294-1175 or visit www.mineolachoralsociety.org.
