This year the Beccles Festival Chorus will be rehearsing and performing the ever-popular oratorio 'The Creation’ by Haydn. It is a work full of colour and drama telling the story of creation from primordial chaos to the beauty of the created order. The music is brimming with beautiful tunes and sublime moments for chorus and soloists alike.

Once again the chorus will be directed by Vetta Wise who brings many years of experience, a great sense of humour and plenty of inspiration to the rehearsals and performance. There will be a full orchestra and soloists from The Guildhall School of Music.

The concert is on Sunday 16^th September at 7.30pm with final rehearsals during the afternoon.

Rehearsals

There are 2 workshops and 6 rehearsals. We realise that not everyone will be able to attend all of these but hope that all who sign up can come to at least one workshop and most of the rehearsals, the last three of which are compulsor
