SUMMARY:Summer concert 2023: Mendelssohn's Elijah
DESCRIPTION:This exciting project forms part of HPO’s Open Doors Festival
 .  In a collaboration with choirs from Freiburg in Germany (including Cho
 r Münchweier\, Cantemus! Gundelfingen\, the church choir of St George and
  school choirs from Ettenheim)\, Billingshurst Choral Society and the Hast
 ings Philharmonic Orchestra we shall perform Mendelssohn’s magnificent o
 ratorio Elijah.  This local concert is the second stage of an exchange wi
 th the German choirs: members of HPC and the Billingshurst Choral Society 
 will take part in a similar performance in Freiburg the preceding week.\n\
 nHailed as the Messiah of its day\, Elijah was hugely popular and cemented
  Mendelssohn's position as one of the greatest composers of sacred music.
  \n\nA review published in the Times shortly after its first performance 
 was unstinting in its praise: ‘The last note of Elijah was drowned in a
  long-continued unanimous volley of plaudits\, vociferous and deafening ..
 . never was there a more complete triumph\; never a more thorough and spee
 dy recognition of a great work of art.’\n\nHelen May (soprano)\nMarta Fo
 ntanals-Simmons (mezzo-soprano)\nAnthony Flaum (tenor)\nJack Lawrence-Jone
 s (baritone)\n\nwith Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra\, conducted by Felix 
 Konetschny\, Cornelius Leenen\, Bernhard Schmidt and Marcio da Silva\n\nS
 upported by funding from Arts Council England.\n\n\nFor full event details
