Long-dormant oratorio reborn in Toronto

The Pax Christi Chorale and Orchestra, under artistic director and conductor Stephanie Martin. She will revive the Judith oratorio for a performance May 3 at Toronto’s Koerner Hall.

TORONTO - The first and last time the Judith oratorio was heard by an audience was in 1888 in Birmingham, England. It was written by one of Britain’s best-loved composers of the time, Hubert Parry, and was well-received by the critics of the era. But then the work fell into obscurity.
