Promising an evening of passion, drama, and spiritual reflection, the performance will feature nearly 300 talented musicians and singers.

Audiences can follow the moving narrative of the biblical prophet Elijah, depicted through music ranging from stirring choruses to intimate laments.

This unique collaboration also features four internationally acclaimed soloists: soprano Francesca Chiejina, mezzo soprano Beth Taylor, tenor Ben Johnson, and baritone Ben McAteer.

Tim Primrose said: "We are thrilled to present Mendelssohn's Elijah, a work that has stood the test of time and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

"This performance promises to be an unforgettable experience, combining the talents of our exceptional musicians and the timeless beauty of Mendelssohn's composition.

"When we decided to programme Elijah, I thought immediately of its premier in Birmingham City Hall, in 1846, with 271 singers.

"At this point I saw the opportunity for a glorious collaboration, combining the choruses of the Cambridge Philharmonic and UEA.

"This will make not only a more authentic and enjoyable performance for the singers, but a bracing and exciting experience for the audience."
