The Elgin Choral Union will perform Schubert’s “Mass in G Minor,” Haydn’s “Lord Nelson Mass” and Beethoven’s “Elegischer Gesang” (“Elegiac Song”) next week, joined by the Elgin Symphony Orchestra.

The performance begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 10, in the Blizzard Theatre at Elgin Community College’s Visual and Performing Arts Center, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

Music Director Andrew Lewis will lead the Choral Union, which is performing an expanded version of the Beethoven work. Originally written for string quartet and four voices, “Elegiac Song” will have its romantic clarity expanded for full choir and orchestra.
