Mendelssohn's Elijah
Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 3:00 PM – RUMC
Monday, March 14, 2005 - 8:00 PM
The Temple on Peachtree
 One of the most outstanding
historical figures of the Old Testament was the prophet Elijah, and the composer Felix Mendelssohn set his story to music in what has become one of the world's most famous oratorios, second only to
Messiah by G.F. Handel. Elijah tells the tale of an extraordinary man through memorable solos, magnificent choruses, and sweeping  pageantry. Bass John LaForge, a favorite of MOS audiences, will sing the title role with the power and majesty it demands. Other featured
soloists include MOCS members Benjamin Pruett, tenor, and Karen Sikorski, alto, and special guest soprano Deborah Benardot, who is the cantor at The Temple. Two performances of this
timeless classic will be offered – at Roswell United Methodist Church and The Temple on Peachtree.
