Die Schöpfung, Hob. XXI:2 Haydn

Join us in the Hall or online for the Biblical creation story told in music of cosmic grandeur: a journey of unbridled joy, from the dramatic moment the first ray of light hits the waters of the deep.

It’s hard to imagine a choral work more life-affirming than The Creation, a vision of the universe that embraces both earthworms and angels. Haydn’s uplifting music is enhanced with a compelling visual narrative from leading video and projection designer Nina Dunn.

In an evening celebrating fresh beginnings, the Academy of Ancient Music open their first season under the direction of new Music Director Laurence Cummings, who conducts the ensemble, chorus, and a solo cast featuring some of Britain’s finest singers.
