The Dawn of the World: Haydn's Creation

Step into the light with The Dawn of the World: Haydn’s Creation on Friday, March 20, 2026 at 8pm at the Arts and Culture Centre, presented by Wedgwood Insurance.

Experience the awe and wonder of the universe’s first spark through Joseph Haydn’s masterwork The Creation—a sweeping oratorio that brings the formation of the world to life with radiant choruses, colourful orchestration, and boundless optimism.

Led by NSO Music Director Simon Rivard, this celestial celebration features an all-star trio of soloists: soprano Anna-Sophie Neher, tenor Frédéric Antoun, and baritone Jesse Blumberg, joined by the powerful voices of the Philharmonic Choir of the NSO (PCNSO).

From chaos to light, from sea to sky, from birdsong to humanity—Haydn’s music captures it all with wit, drama, and joy. Don’t miss this transcendent journey through the origins of the world—guaranteed to leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. Tickets are available at the ACC Box Office (709-729-3900), online at www.artsandculturecentre.com and at the door.
