Elgar: The Apostles | Tickets Oxford
In 1902 Elgar planned a great trilogy of oratorios on the lives of the Apostles, but only completed two of them, The Apostles (1903) and The Kingdom (1906)
‘The spirit of the Lord is upon me…’ That a paid-up humanist like me should be singing these words, and getting caught up in the great Story: that’s the wonder of a piece like Elgar’s ‘The Apostles’. Come and get caught up in it with me. Oxford, this Sunday. www.ticketsoxford.com/events/elgar...
