St. Paul Oratorio
by Felix Mendelssohn
Sunday, November 13, 2011, 3 PM
UNLV Artemis W. Ham Hall
The Southern Nevada Musical Arts Society will present Felix Mendelssohn's "St. Paul Oratorio" at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, November 13, 2011, in UNLV's Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall. Under the direction of Dr. Douglas Peterson, the magnificent work will be performed by the 80-voice Musical Arts Chorus and guest soloists and the 40-piece Musical Arts Orchestra.
Composition of the St. Paul began in 1834, and the work was premiered in May 1836. Originally written in German and translated into English by Mendelssohn's friend, Karl Klingermann, Mendelssohn himself conducted the first English performance in Leipzig in the Paulinerkirche in March 1837. The piece was widely popular during Mendelssohn's lifetime but is now rarely performed in its entirety. We invite you to enjoy this rare gem in the English translation which composer Richard Wagner said "is witness to the highest bloom of art." A taste of the St. Paul from our 35th season in 1997:Admission: $18 for adults $12 for seniors, disabled and military $8 for students with ID
Tickets are available at the UNLV Performing Arts Center Box Office, (702) 895-2787.
