Haydn's Creation 2022
224 years after its premiere, Sydney Chamber Choir joins the Australian Haydn Ensemble and 3 superb soloists under the guest direction of Roland Peelman for the Australian period-instrument premiere of Haydn's monumental oratorio The Creation. This majestic oratorio has always been one of the composer's most popular works, and in many ways represents the summit of his craft. His transition from a musical depiction of nothingness to the choir's blazing 'And there was light' is one of the great moments in music, and enough to raise the hair of believers and cosmologists alike. The Big Bang is a hard act to follow, but Haydn effortlessly nails it, sustaining over 100 minutes of orchestral tone painting, mighty choruses and lilting arias. https://upnext.com.au/event/haydns-creation-2022 Check out our website https://upnext.com.au/sydney Check out our Vimeo channel https://vimeo.com/upnextsydney Check out our Youtube channel UpNext Sydney Youtube
