The Cleveland Orchestra: Franz Welser-Most - Haydn's Creation

The Cleveland Orchestra: Franz Welser-Most - Haydn's Creation at Severance Music Center

Imagine an orchestra and chorus trying to capture the moment the world begins. Haydn's Creation goes after that impossible idea with wonder, humor, and music that can turn from a whisper into a blaze of sound.

The music itself is a magnet. The orchestra calls The Creation a choral masterpiece celebrating light, hope, and new beginnings, and that description fits a score that moves with clarity, grandeur, and wonder. Add The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and soloists Joélle Harvey, Kai Kluge, and Ludwig Mittelhammer, and the program becomes a serious showcase for voices, orchestra, and conductor working in one frame.

At Severance Music Center, the setting matches the scale of the piece. The Cleveland Orchestra presents the concert in Mandel Concert Hall, the orchestra’s home since 1931, and the hall’s reputation for beauty and musical presence gives this kind of repertoire room to breathe. Severance Music Center is where this story belongs.
