My choir’s performance of The Dream of Gerontius, by Elgar, will be broadcast live from the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday night (19 November), in a concert starting at 8.00pm* Australian eastern summer time. The orchestra and choir will be conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy. We had our first rehearsal with Mr Ashkenazy last night and it was great fun. It’s a fantastic work and I’m really looking forward to the performances.
If you’d like to listen in (especially Malacandra, who I know loves Gerontius), go to ABC Classic FM and click on the Listen Now link.
