Following on from the success of their spring concert, Mendelssohn’s ‘Elijah’, Arun Choral Society will perform Edward Elgar’s 'The Dream of Gerontius' under the direction of Dr Joe Paxton in the stunning surroundings of Arundel Cathedral on Sunday 25th October at 7.30pm.
The piece is widely regarded as Elgar's finest choral work, indeed considered by some to be his masterpiece. Many will be familiar with the work following its fictitious 1916 performance by the Ramsden Choral Society in the 2025 film ‘The Choral’.
Tenor Andrew Rawlings will sing the part of Gerontius and Deirdre Arratoon, mezzo-soprano, the part of the Angel. Making his debut with the Society will be bass-baritone Ben Hendry-Watkins singing the role of the Priest.
The soloists and choir of over 100 voices will be ably accompanied by the 51 piece Sinfonia of Arun orchestra.
