Newton Choral Society Presents Joseph Haydn's 'The Creation'

The following information was provided by the Newton Choral Society: 

Newton Choral Society, under the direction of David Carrier, will present Die Schöpfung (The Creation) by Franz Joseph Haydn, considered one of his greatest masterpieces. The chorus and orchestra will be joined by soloists Kendra Colton, soprano; Peter Halpern, tenor; and David Kravitz, baritone.

Filled with ground-breaking orchestral color, and creative interplay between chorus, instruments and text, it still offers tremendous vividness and emotional power more than two centuries later. From chaos to dazzling sunlight, lions and tigers, whales and worms, Haydn’s forceful and original telling of the creation story is not to be missed.

Tickets are $35 for general admission ($30 for students and seniors) and may be purchased securely online at www.newtonchoral.org, or at the door.
