THE CREATION
October 16th - St. Paul's
​Franz Joseph Haydn

Franz Joseph Haydn's epic telling of the Creation story.

While visiting London in the 1790s, Haydn heard two of Handel's oratorios, Messiah and Israel in Egypt.  

Inspired and possessing a libretto by Baron van Swieten, based on Milton's Paradise Lost, Haydn produced The Creation (Die Schöpfung) ​ It was premiered in Vienna in 1798.
​  
​The ACS will perform this masterwork in English.

MESSIAH with a Twist
​December 4th - St. Paul's
​Georg Frideric Handel

As part of our celebration of the resumption of "normality," the ACS will present excerpts from Messiah and we invite not only a listening audience, but a SINGING audience.

We will provide a rehearsed and trained choir to lead all the choruses, soloists for the arias, and an orchestra to support the performance.

Bring your score and join with us.
​Or just come and enjoy.

Karl Jenkins

Using traditional and non-traditional texts, Karl Jenkins
has created a masterwork that is moving, thoughtful, and creative, but also eminently enjoyable.
