Elijah was first performed in August 1846 at Birmingham Town Hall in its English version, conducted by the composer, and was immediately acclaimed a classic of the genre.

The oratorio depicts dramatic events in the life of the prophet Elijah and the music is accessible and exciting.
Tickets £15 from Bakewell Bookshop, Matlock Street, Bakewell or Bakewell Visitor Centre, Bridge Street, on the door or from any of the choir’s members. Students and accompanied children will get free admission to the concert.
