From Mupa: The Purcell Choir is now 30 years old - and what way could be better to celebrate this than with Haydn's grand oratorio The Creation? As the performance scheduled for May 2020 had to be cancelled, the choir is now ready to warmly welcome everyone for this shared celebration now!
György Vashegyi founded the Purcell Choir in 1990 for a concert-version performance of Dido and Aeneas, and after the Orfeo Orchestra was established in 1991, the two ensembles developed into Hungary's leading interpreters of early music.
Joseph Haydn's oratorio Die Schöpfung ('The Creation') is one of the most important works in the history of European music. Its first performance (which was not open to the public, as only invited guests attended) took place at Vienna's Schwarzenberg Palace in 1798.
