Festival period orchestra
Conductor: Paul Ellis
Soprano: Amelia Monaghan
Tenor: Guy Cutting
Baritone: Morgan Pearse
Joseph Haydn: The Creation, Hob. XXI:2
A dramatic and joyful celebratory performance, which marks the Chorus’s 20th anniversary. Haydn’s Creation – the same wonderful work that they performed at their inaugural concert – is a glorious musical evocation of the creation of the world, as described in the Book of Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Alongside the Chorus, a large period orchestra and a trio of top soloists make for a truly grand opening night.
