The Elgin Choral Union rehearsing Mendelssohn's St. Paul oratorio. Often neglected in favor of the more popular oratorios, such as The Messiah, The Creation, and Elijah, St. Paul is a rare treat, especially in English! The oratorio describes the conversion of St. Paul, complete with chorales, stoning of martyrs, and majestic songs of praise. Directed by Andrew Lewis & accompanied by Jon Warfel.
The full oratorio will be performed May 9th at the Blizzard Theatre of ECC, accompanied by the fantastic Elgin Symphony Orchestra. Check out www.elginchoralunion.org for more information.
Videography by Chris Andresen.
