The Creation by Franz Joseph Haydn 7:30 PM, Sunday April 13, 2008 Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts, Brantford Haydn’s effort to emulate the great oratorio writing of Handel is a shining telling of the birth of our world from the angels’ point of view. Three fabulous soloists who work regularly with Opera Atelier and the Canadian Opera Company join us as the angels who narrate the story. This concert is a special joint venture of the Grand River Chorus and the Brantford Symphony. Eve Rachel McLeod – soprano, Robert Kinar – tenor, Jason Nedecky – baritone
