Additional Information
Two imposing oratorios by Mendelssohn will come to life at the Festival de Lanaudière on July 18 and 19. The works Paulus (St. Paul) and Elias (Elijah), respectively, will be performed by the outstanding instrumentalists of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (AKAMUS), a multi-award-winning orchestra with one of the most extensive discographies of the last half-century, along with the superb voices of world-class soloists and young singers from the Audi Jugendchorakademie.
Ahead of these two concerts, PAN M 360’s Alexandre Villemaire spoke with Martin Steidler, Music Director of the Audi Jugendchorakademie, who will be on the podium for both performances, to learn more about these two-landmark works from the repertoire presented here in an exclusive North American performance.
