Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah is a dramatic and moving portrayal of the life of the prophet Elijah – filled with magnificent choral passages, heartfelt arias and powerful musical contrasts. The work is full of drama, from stormy celestial phenomena to deeply personal prayers, and has thrilled audiences since its premiere in 1846.


When we perform this monumental oratorio in 2025, it will be with a connoisseur of the genre at the helm: Matthias Janz. As one of the most experienced conductors in the choral and oratorio repertoire, he has been an invaluable partner for the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra for years and has contributed to shaping its artistic profile. They say that being outside is good, but being at home is best. South Jutland and South Schleswig are our musical home turf, where we have shared countless great experiences with audiences over the years. But this time we are also looking forward to presenting Elias in one of Germany's most famous concert halls – the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg.
