Continuing the tradition of providing sacred music to Malaysians, Elaine Pao will be conducting ‘Elijah’ an oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn. She explains the challenges, especially after undertaking ‘The Messiah’ last year up north in Sitiawan; and she details the joys of this celebration. The conductor points to the history of the composition and underscores its place in the classical canon.
