Southampton Philharmonic Choir warmly invite you to their performance of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius—a profound and moving choral masterpiece. First performed in 1900, this extraordinary work traces the journey of a soul into the afterlife. Though rooted in Catholic tradition, its themes of mortality, legacy, and hope speak powerfully to everyone.
