Haslemere Musical Society Open Evening: Haydn’s Journey To The Creation

In this special open evening Haslemere Musical Society’s orchestra under the guidance of Dr James Ross invites you to experience how Haydn’s music matured and progressed to culminate in his finest work: “The Creation”.

The evening features not only extracts from "The Creation", including a number of tenor arias sung by HMS member Will Unwin, but also five of Haydn's symphonies spanning a 30 year period.  Symphonies nos. 6 "Le Matin" and 7 " Le Midi" written at the beginning of Haydn's career are followed by nos. 41 and 80.  The last of the five is Haydn's famous London symphony no. 104.

Singers are invited to join the chorus in a “Find Your Voice” evening featuring choruses from “The Creation” and led by Thomas Lydon. In a grand finale to the evening, chorus and orchestra will come together to perform the final chorus of Haydn’s great work.

Tickets range from £6 to £11 from Haslemere Hall Box Office
