Friday 23 September 7.30pm
The Gloaming carves new paths connecting the rich Irish
folk tradition and the New York contemporary music scene.
From haunting sean-nós songs to rousing instrumental
medleys, they create a new musical alchemy between
ancient traditions, experimentation and modernity.
‘When I think of God,’ said Joseph Haydn, ‘I can write
only cheerful music.’ The Creation makes his point
perfectly, yet this choral masterpiece offers much more
than just blithe-spirited joy. Featuring the CBSO chorus
and splendid soloists conducted by Juanjo Mena,
The Creation will make a life-affirming opening to the
new season.
Please note that this performance will be sung in German.

Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia, a haunting evocation of
a lost age, and the psalm-setting by Tallis upon which
it is based. For searing emotion and spiritual intensity,
this is an occasion not to be missed.
