Join us for our performance of Haydn’s The Creation

​

Welcome to our exciting choral 2025 with three performances, commencing with a BIG BANG - Haydn’s The Creation on Saturday 17 May at St Paul’s Cathedral.  An opportunity to savour and ponder the world’s beginning in music and song!

Lead by our exciting and innovative conductor, Mario Dobernig, we will be singing in English and joined by the magnificent Art of Sound Orchestra and 4 brilliant soloists:

   Molly Ryan, Soprano, 

   Sally-Anne Russell, Mezzo-Soprano,

   Andrew Goodwin, Tenor,

   Simon Meadows, Baritone.

​

One of the great choral masses and oratorios of the Baroque and classical periods, Haydn (and others) regarded it as one of his greatest masterpieces.  The Creation was written late in Haydn’s life, inspired by the oratorios of Handel that he had heard in London.  His creation story is optimistic, reflecting Enlightenment ideals of a harmonious relationship between human beings and nature.  Structured in three parts, it tells the story of the six days of creation, using a libretto inspired by both the Bible and Milton’s Paradise Lost.  The orchestral arrangement helps tell the story, depicting the many aspects of nature, oceans, animals, fish and birds, and the beauties of Eden.

We are expecting a full house at the wonderful St Paul’s Cathedral - tickets are available through the link above.
