Exploring Creation

They came, they sang, and they explored creation at a Come and Sing Day on Saturday 29th March. The Choral Society, with guests from other societies from across the North East, were led by David Lawrence in exploring Haydn’s ‘Creation’ expertly accompanied by Eileen Bown. David is one of the UK’s most versatile conductors, with a wide experience of working with orchestras, symphony choruses and national youth choirs in more than 25 countries. The inspiring session was enhanced with insights into the history of the piece and many anecdotes from his wide experience.
Ladies from Sunderland Minster, where the session was held, also enhanced the collective enjoyment of the day by offering a wide menu of soups in the lunchtime break – much appreciated. For the BCS choir members it was part of their preparations for a full concert of the piece on April 12th (full details in the Events section of this website) whilst having a sociable and fun day.
