Within an anthology programme, the choir Ars Musica Mansonium de Maisons-Alfort presents a masterful reduction of Felix Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elias Op.70 – a masterpiece of the universal repertoire blending prophetic drama and choral splendour.

Works in the programme
•    Felix Mendelssohn – Elias: Iconic excerpts (Hilf Herr! -  Baal -  Der Herr ging vorüber -  Apocalyptic finale)
•    W.A. Mozart – Litaniae Lauretanae K.109: Kyrie -  Regina Angelorum -  Agnus Dei
•    W.A. Mozart – Misericordias Domini K.222 (autograph version – strings alone)
•    J.S. Bach – Cantata BWV 11 Lobet Gott in seinem Reichen: Overture + chorales

A rare privilege: these sacred monuments reveal their power in a concise version (~60’), where each note distils the spiritual and dramatic essence.
