Elijah

A month ago we presented a performance of Mendelssohn's great oratorio "Elijah". At our church we present a major work each spring, and for the last two years we have invited other choirs to collaborate with us for this concert. These collaborations make our performances better, and we believe they make a contribution to our community.

This year the singers and directors of Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Vestavia Hills High School, St. Alban's Episcopal Church, South Highland Presbyterian Church, the Birmingham Concert Chorale and the Birmingham Chamber Chorus combined their efforts with ours to create a successful concert.

Some clips are available on Youtube, thanks to the work of Lee Watford and Xavier Roberson. Please take a look.
