The Dream of Gerontius
The Dream of GerontiusPresented by Cambridge Philharmonic
Considered by many to be his finest work, Elgar’s setting of Cardinal Newman’s poem about a soul’s migration to his meeting with God showcases the fascinating and moving mixture of glory, self-doubt, yearning and insecurity that makes this greatest of English composers such a firm favourite. With its extraordinary choruses, beautiful solos and luxuriant orchestration The Dream of Gerontius is immersive perfection, beloved by players, singers and audiences alike.
Once again, the forces of the Cambridge Philharmonic chorus and orchestra will be joined by the University of East Anglia Choir in another epic collaboration with conductor Tom Primrose at the helm.
