Orchestre des Champs-Élysées & Collegium Vocale Gent

Über die Veranstaltung

The Collegium Vocale Gent and the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées perform Haydn's The Creation with international soloists under the baton of Philippe Herreweghe.

The creation of the world is quite a subject for an oratorio to tackle! Profoundly influenced by Handel's great achievements in the genre, Haydn in this work created a veritable monument in the history of music, imbued with a highly spiritual view of the world. Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael recount the birth of light under the baton of Philippe Herreweghe, who brings together for the occasion the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and his Collegium Vocale Gent.

Concert series:
Acclaimed in all repertoire, Philippe Herreweghe tends to program an eclectic selection of works — and this season is no exception. At the head of three renowned ensembles — the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, Collegium Vocale Gent, and the Royal Flemish Philharmonic (deFilharmonie) — the Ghent conductor presents works by, among others, Schütz, Weber, Poulenc, and Haydn, whose Creation marked the opening, more than twenty years ago, of a long‐term collaboration between Herreweghe and the Centre for Fine Arts.
