Hackney Singers: Haydn’s Creation, Saturday 29th March at St John at Hackney

150-strong Hackney Singers perform Haydn’s masterpiece The Creation, inspired by the book of Genesis, the Biblical book of Psalms and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Conducted by renowned opera conductor Mark Shanahan, accompanied on the organ by the choir’s répétiteur Andrew Storey.

Hackney Singers, who recently celebrated their 40th anniversary and last sang The Creation in 1988, return to the Georgian splendour of St John at Hackney for the first time since October 2012 for what is set to be a stunning performance.
