As you move around the building, have a look at the beautiful stained glass window on all levels.Cardinal John Henry Newman’s poem, “The Dream of Gerontius,” was written in seven parts and set to music by Sir Edward Elgar, in Worcestershire. The window evokes phrases from the poem.According to its designer, the window symbolises “the progress of the soul, from doubts and difficulties, through fire and light”. The fragmented glass may be seen as a symbol of brokenness brought together. The colours of the window gradually change from fiery reds and oranges to lighter yellows, blues and purples. ​(This information has been taken from the St Andrew’s website and of course, we have used the photo on our flyer) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/worcester/come-and-sing-elgars-the-dream-of-gerontius/100001989759560408 - **Event Categories**: live-music, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: St Andrews Methodist Church - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 22.38, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Worcester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St Andrews Methodist Church - **lat**: 52.1907322 - **long**: -2.2199246 - **full address**: St Andrews Methodist Church, Pump Street, Worcester, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Come and Sing Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/93efb4039a5c0cc904becdad1874c02f80db2dff78751dc6c5f4bf54729ac8fd-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1780423489 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Come and Sing Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius being held? - **A:** Come and Sing Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm at St Andrews Methodist Church, Pump Street, Worcester, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Come and Sing Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius? - **A:** Come and Sing Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius is organized by The Elgar Chorale of Worcester.. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Musical Director Piers Maxim oversees a busy annual programme of concerts across Worcestershire and beyond.\nThe Chorale participates in leading roles in some of the region’s premier music festivals, and delights in performing at weddings, Civic occasions and charitable events. Invites have also been extended from Germany, France and South Africa, resulting in successful tours in those countries and also the English South West.\nUnder the leadership of Dr. Hunt the choir gained a reputation for the quality and variety of its performances, and is particularly renowned for its interpretation of music by the English composer after whom it is named. Under the guidance of Piers Maxim the choir’s extensive repertoire is ever expanding, and the Chorale is proud to curate one of the largest music libraries in the region.\nAfter an enforced and frustrating cancellation of the 40th Anniversary celebrations in 2020, The Elgar Chorale is embarking on the next season with renewed vigour and enthusiasm.\nPlease join us for as many of our events as possible, all publicised on our website.\nhttps://elgarchorale.com." } ] } ] ```
