MENDELSSOHN’S ELIJAH

MAY 1 + 2

Overview

How do we know we’re enough when our convictions are tested?

When our convictions are tested, it’s easy to question whether we have enough strength, certainty, or courage to keep going. Mendelssohn’s Elijah follows a revered prophet through confrontation, isolation, and doubt, revealing that even the most resolute can wonder whether they are enough. For our season finale, the H+H Orchestra, Chorus, Youth Choruses Chamber Choir, and CitySing participants unite for this monumental work, transforming one person’s crisis of confidence into a powerful shared story. Join us and discover the humanity in perseverance, where resolve and uncertainty can coexist.
