Mendelssohn's Elijah at the De La Warr Pavilion, 30th July 2023
As the last lap of our German exchange, we joined with visitors from the German choirs and from Billingshurst Choral Society, and with the Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra, for an epic performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill. Directed by four different conductors - Felix Konetschny, Cornelius Leenen, Bernhard Schmidt and Marcio da Silva - and with soloists Helen May (soprano), Marta Fontanals-Simmons (mezzo-soprano), Anthony Flaum (tenor) and Jack Lawrence-Jones (baritone), the concert was a huge success.
