Sherborne Festival Chorus: "The Creation"

Sherborne Festival Chorus is twenty years old in 2026: join the celebration! And what better way to celebrate than with a performance of the same wonderful work that the chorus performed at its inaugural concert: Haydns Creation.Composed in 1798, this glorious masterpiece celebrates the creation of the world as depicted in the book of Genesis and Milton's Paradise Lost. From its revolutionary representation of chaos to the final depiction of the innocent joys of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Haydn paints a vivid and varied musical picture both the grandeur of the cosmos and the delicate beauty of nature, complete with a cast of characters, dramatic orchestral colour and joyful choruses.Soprano: Amelia Monaghan
