Concert information

鈥淲hen I think of God, I can write only cheerful music鈥 said Joseph Haydn. So when he turned to the greatest story of all time, his imagination simply bubbled over. The Creation is filled with sparkling melodies, blockbuster choruses and a joyous, generous spirit that finds room for both angels and earthworms. But Haydn saw further than other men 鈥 and his depiction of a universe emerging from chaos inspired music of cosmic grandeur. With the Edinburgh Festival Chorus and a first-class team of soloists, Thomas Dausgaard will bring all his signature freshness and verve to some of the most life-affirming sounds you鈥檒l ever hear.

There will be one interval of 20 minutes between parts 2 and 3. The performance will be recorded for future broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 3.

Pre-concert performance: Students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland will play works by Haydn in the Recital Room from 2.15pm. Free to ticket holders.
