Romantic Glories

Bath Minerva Choir presents two of the 19th Century’s most romantic and gorgeous works: Brahms’ deeply soulful ‘Song of Destiny’ (‘Schicksalslied’) and Mendelssohn’s epic second symphony, his ‘Hymn of Praise’ (‘Lobgesang’). With superbly expressive symphonic movements, grand choruses, beautiful solos and duets, this work has it all: it is Mendelssohn at his very finest.

With a stellar cast, including celebrated tenor James Gilchrist, and the full might of Bath Philharmonia in Bath Abbey, this will be an evening of truly memorable sonic glories. Also in the programme are Mendelssohn’s evergreen ‘Hebrides’ overture, and famous arias from his ‘Elijah’.
