Mendelssohn Bicentennial

Join Exultate and guest organist Matthew Larkin as we continue our Great Composer Series with a musical celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great 19th-century composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

With a style linking Bach to Brahms, Mendelssohn’s choral works are some of his finest and best-loved compositions. His gift for melody and his mastery of counterpoint combine to create music that is truly inspirational. The choir will perform some of Mendelssohn’s most famous works, including the anthem Hear My Prayer, several settings of psalm texts, and excerpts from the oratorio Elijah.
