Join the Queen’s University Orchestra and Choral Ensemble for a performance of Dan Forrest’s newest and most expansive work to date – CREATION.
Written on the 225th anniversary of Haydn’s similarly-themed masterpiece, this 68-minute oratorio explores the wonders of our planet through a dazzling variety of musical expressions for chorus, orchestra, and soprano and baritone soloists.
Dr. Forrest writes, “…I wanted to capture the beauty of life on this planet, and the wonder of its origin, in my own musical language. In a sense, it’s a score to my own mental Planet Earth film – of beauty that I’ve encountered both at home and in my travels abroad. I hope this work overwhelms its listener with the wonder and joy that still shines through in our world.”
