Will Liverman Headlines The Washington Chorus’ ‘Elijah Reimagined’

By David Salazar

The Washington Chorus will present “Elijah Reimagined” on June 8, 2024.

The showcase, which will take place at the Kennedy Center starting at 7 p.m., will feature a unique take on Mendelssohn’s oratorio with projection design by Camilla Tassi.

“One of my goals since joining The Washington Chorus has been to present older works in a new light,” said TWC Artistic Director Dr. Eugene Rogers per an official press release. “Sometimes that means having a different translation or different instrumentation, or a different type of soloist. But in this instance, we are adding this visual element to enhance Elijah’s story, so that an audience today can not only be brought in by the fantastic text and the music, but also be captivated through gorgeous visuals. It will be a new and different concert experience for many of our audiences.”

The soloists will include Will Liverman, Caitlin Lynch, Antona Yost, and Norman Shankle. Rogers conducts the showcase.
