Haydn – The Creation
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]Experience the grandeur of Joseph Haydn's masterpiece, The Creation.
Published in 1800, it is one of the most exalted achievements in choral and orchestral music and the first choral work to be published with both German and English texts.
In this performance it will be in English. Inspired by the Book of Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost, Haydn’s oratorio captures the emergence of light, life, and order with sublime artistry. Through radiant choruses, masterful orchestration, and expressive solo passages, The Creation affirms the beauty and majesty of the natural world. Join us for an evening of transcendent music that continues to inspire awe and reverence over two centuries after its premiere.
At Smith Square, the Civil Service Choir has recently given performances of Mozart’s Requiem with “impressive power and emotion” and Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem – after which Jools Holland OBE exclaimed “This choir is one of the best I’ve ever heard”. Do not miss this outstanding choir’s performance of The Creation.
