When the Windsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) presents Mendelssohn’s Elijah at the Capitol Theatre, audiences can expect more than a concert.
They will experience a sweeping, semi-staged musical drama — supported in part by the voices of the University of Windsor Singers.
Led by Conductor Laureate John Morris Russell (in honorary stead of the late Maestro Robert Franz), Elijah will be performed March 7 and 8.
