A very special performance of Haydn’s The Creation is to be sung at Guildhall in the heart of the City of London to raise funds for the Glass Sellers’ projects to assist and educate disadvantaged Londoners. London Concert Choir will be joined by Counterpoint period instrumental ensemble, led by Conductor Mark Forkgen.
The Creation represents Haydn at his finest and its continuing popularity is well deserved. There are fine solo arias and joyful Handelian choruses of praise and thanksgiving, while Haydn’s orchestration vividly depicts the wonders of the natural world.
The performance which is sponsored by SES ASTRA UK, will take place in the imposing, medieval Grand Hall.
