Lea Singers Concert - Haydn, The Creation

Haydn’s “The Creation” is one of the most life-affirming and generous two hours of music you can hear.

Add to my Calendar 24-06-2017 19:00 24-06-2017 21:00 36 Lea Singers Concert - Haydn, The Creation At 7pm there will be a Pre-concert talk by Lindsay Kemp and Victoria Longdon in conversation. With its roof-raising choruses and bubbling melodies Haydn’s “The Creation” is one of the most life-affirming and generous two hours of music you can hear. Joseph Haydn once said that when he thought of God he could write only cheerful music. The vivid, pictorial nature of the text, with its rising sun ‘in splendour bright’, its birds with their ‘cooing calls’, and its menageries of tawny lions, fexible tigers, nimble sgas and noble steeds, certainly fired his imagination. Tickets on line and from Rollings Wine Co. 26 Station Road, Harpenden, AL5 4SE and from Stage Door, 2 Piggotshill Lane, Southdown, Harpenden, AL5 1LH   St John's Church, Harpenden DD/MM/YYYY
