In the spirit of Cantata Singers’ groundbreaking performances of the Brahms Requiem, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, and the Verdi Requiem, Cantata Singers will present a free performance of another choral icon, Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah, in the original German.

Elijah is one of the few choral-orchestral icons of the classical canon that Cantata Singers has never tackled in its 50-year history.

“Mendelssohn’s efforts to present and promote J.S.

Bach’s music are credited for reviving Bach’s reputation and popularity in the 19th century.

It was Mendelssohn who presented the first performance of the St.

Matthew Passion after Bach’s death” said Music Director David Hoose.

“Elijah is a fitting musical centerpiece for Cantata Singers’ 50th Anniversary Season, and it will be a rare opportunity to hear the work in German, the language that Mendelssohn conceived the music for.” With the support of the Free for All Concert Fund, this special performance will be presented for free on Saturday, February 22, 2014 at 8:00pm at NEC’s Jordan Hall.

Mark Andrew Cleveland will sing the title role.
