Final Performance at IMAD 2025: Grand Finale Concert
The much-anticipated International Music Festival in Paderborn (IMAD) 2025 is set to take place, with the grand finale featuring Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's "Elias", a dramatic oratorio based on the Old Testament story of the prophet Elias.

The performance of "Elias" at IMAD 2025 will be accompanied by the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, a respected orchestra that promises a professional and spirited rendition of this important 19th-century oratorio. Thomas Berning, the Domkapellmeister and artistic director of the IMAD festival, will conduct the performance.
"Elias" presents episodes from the biblical story of the prophet Elijah. The title character, sung by a baritone or bass, expresses a wide range of emotions through arias that include prayer, weariness, and defiance. The work opens unusually with an aria introducing Elijah, who warns of a drought as divine punishment for Israel's idolatry. The oratorio features notable choruses such as “He Watching over Israel” and “Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains.” Its libretto is drawn from 1 Kings, Psalms, and other Hebrew Bible texts, and it is performed in German or English.
Audiences at IMAD 2025 can expect a musically rich, dramatic telling of the prophet Elijah’s story, featuring expressive solo arias, renowned choral movements, and orchestral music by Mendelssohn that balances romantic intensity with classical form.
