Come and Sing Handel's 'Saul'
05 October 2024
From 9.30am
at RGS Worcester, Upper Tything, Worcester WR1 1HP
The Elgar Chorale of Worcester invites you to Come and Sing Handel’s Oratorio 'SAUL' with director Piers Maxim and accompanist Euodia Jordan.
'Saul' is an opera in all but name, containing some of the composer’s most vivid music, and one of the largest, most colourful orchestrations he ever wrote.
It tells of the first King of Israel’s early admiration and later envy and hatred towards his successor, David, and David’s love for Saul’s son Jonathan, in moving arias and powerful choruses that chart a cathartic journey from triumph to tragedy.
Registration and copies from 9.30am, the workshop begins at 10am and finishes with a final 'performance' ending at 5pm.
Do come along to RGS Worcester WR1 1HP and please bring your own lunch and join us in the refectory or garden. There is a raffle too!
Tickets: £20, students £10 to include music hire and hot and cold drinks during the breaks
Book online at www.elgarchorale.com or by email to treasurer@elgarchorale.com and pay by cash or card at the door.
