“The Creation is such an inventive and unified score, and the OAE’s playing was so alert, with widespread solo instrumental excellence and spontaneity…this is the quintessential, benevolent choral work, whose journey from chaos and darkness towards order and light is the whole point of the piece.” The Guardian

Arguably one of the most vivid and descriptive pieces of classical music ever written, The Creation brings to life every aspect of its biblical text from the black emptiness before the First Day to the heart of the sun as it rises for the first time.  View complete details of this event.
