Franz Joseph Haydn - The Creation
Patrick Godon combines ICA with his new conducting venture, The Tower Chorale,
for the very first time. Unlike the six-day Biblical precedent, it took Haydn
some seven years to finish his monumental oratorio The Creation. It is a piece
evocative and rich in orchestration with three angel soloists and a chorus that
functions as a choir of heavenly hosts. Dont miss this performance in one of
the largest churches in Chicago.
Tickets may be purchased at the door for these concerts.
Divine Infant concert tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors & students, children 10 & under FREE
St. Mary's concert tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for students age 7-18 with an ID.
