I’m honored to play flute in Columbia Chorale’s production of The Creation by Joseph Haydn. This beautiful work will be sure to inspire and uplift. I hope to see you there!
THE CREATION BY JOSEPH HAYDN
Columbia Chorale
With guest conductor R. Paul Crabb of Prometheus
Saturday, October 26, 2024 | 7:00 p.m. | Launer Auditorium, Columbia College
901 Rogers St, Columbia, MO 65216
Columbia Chorale welcomes back R. Paul Crabb of Prometheus to lead the ensemble in its first concert of the season. Inspired by Handel’s Messiah and Israel in Egypt, Haydn’s The Creation (1798) incorporates texts from the Bible (Genesis and Psalms) and John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost to portray the Biblical narrative of the creation of the universe. Experience comfort and hope as Haydn’s uplifting arias and choruses paint a picture of chaos and darkness transformed into a world of idealized harmony and love.
