Join us in the magnificent setting of Paisley Abbey for an epic choral masterpiece. Gerontius is a very ordinary sort of human being – and as he lies dying, he’s anguished and afraid. But his cry of longing opens a portal to wonders beyond the imagination. “This is the best of me” wrote Elgar on the score of The Dream of Gerontius, and this epic drama of a lonely soul’s voyage towards eternity can move listeners to tears. Ryan Wigglesworth has form with Elgar: in a previous performance, The Observer noted that he “plumbed the work’s rich meanings, sacred and secular” – and that Brenden Gunnell sang the title role “with feeling but never excess”. Beth Taylor, Neal Davies and the Huddersfield Choral Society complete an all-star line-up for this landmark of British music.
