One of the most popular oratorios by any composer and indisputably one of Hadyn's greatest works, The Creation vividly depicts the creation of the world in seven days as described in the Bible. Haydn's evocation of the primordial chaos is a triumph of orchestral writing, and his depiction of the creation of light is a thrilling tour de force. The scope and creative energy are astounding.
In the performance, Chorus pro Musica shines new light on this masterpiece with a specially created visual presentation that surrounds the performers.
Now in its 63rd season, the Chorus pro Musica has built a superb reputation
as one of the great choruses of New England. Known for innovative programming and high quality performances,
