Running time This concert will last approximately 1hour 35mins.
A spiritual journey, a chorus of demons – and an angelic farewell.
We invite you to an emotional and spiritual event: an epic journey of the soul. Kazuki Yamada leads the CBSO Chorus and a glorious trio of soloists (Jess Dandy, David Butt Philip and Roderick Williams) in Elgar’s profound and touching Dream of Gerontius. It’s very much a homecoming for this mighty oratorio, which was first performed in Birmingham in 1900. It has since become a cherished British work, touching and terrifying by turn and with one of the most beautiful ‘farewells’ in classical music history. Expect to be deeply moved.
This concert is generously supported by Chris and Jane Loughran.
