The Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra and Chorus unite for a jubilant production of Joseph Haydn’s 1798 oratorio The Creation. The three-act masterwork chronicles the biblical creation narrative from emptiness to Eden, entwining Haydn’s exultant score with a vivid libretto drawn from Genesis, Psalms, and John Milton’s Paradise Lost—in a riveting journey from chaos to order.

Bookended by two of Bruckner’s sacred choral works, the transcendent and unfinished Ninth Symphony, Bruckner’s last , will be performed by Yannick and the Orchestra as the composer wished it: with his soaring Te Deum as its finale. Bruckner considered the Te Deum his masterpiece, calling it “the pride of his life,” and Gustav Mahler, who treasured Bruckner’s score, said it was written “for the tongues of angels.” Savor the infinite beauty of the human voice in this joyful, majestic music, performed by the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir and a cast of acclaimed operatic soloists.

Gustav Holst’s The Planets has shaped the sound of sci-fi, most famously inspiring John Williams’s “The Imperial March” from Star Wars.
