Poster for Portsmouth Choral Union's performance of The Creation by Haydn

About

The Creation is an oratorio written in 1797 and 1798 by Joseph Haydn (Hob. XXI:2), and considered by many to be one of his masterpieces. The oratorio depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as narrated in the Book of Genesis.

PCU has only performed The Creation three times in its 144-year history (as well as ar two Come and Sing events in 2000 and 2007):
In 1953 (on May 9th) it was conducted by Berty Bradshaw
On April 16th 1976, Jonathan Willcocks was the conductor and Evelyn Barker was the accompanist
Then on 3 November 2007, Jonathan Willcocks was again the conductor, with David Gostick the accompanist

This performance will be beautifully brought to life by the PCU's current conductor, David Gostick.

It really will be a concert to enjoy – it could be another 20 years before PCU performs it again so be sure you add this date to your diary!
