Tanglewood Festival Chorus: 40th Anniversary

The Tanglewood Festival Chorus is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. This week at Symphony Hall the chorus is featured with Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, who conducts a grand work considered by many to be Mendelssohns greatest, his oratorio "Elijah". This big work is strongly influenced by Bach, whose "St. Matthew Passion" Mendelssohn conducted in 1829, rescuing it from obscurity and triggering a renewed interest in that Bach work.
