After three months of preparation and an intensive rehearsal phase four days before the concert day, the time had come to realize this motto on 10.01.2024. "The Creation" by Joseph Haydn was performed in the Great Hall of the Würzburg University of Music. Around 110 musicians took to the stage. The university choir, soloists from the singing classes and a project orchestra with university students from artistic and educational departments.

The great work is complete, the creator sees it and rejoices

A large audience and, above all, the eleven conductors from the School Music Department, who were responsible for the artistic and organizational management of the project, were also delighted. Taking turns on the podium, they conducted and interpreted a few numbers of the work in their individual styles before the next conductor stepped in front of the orchestra and choir. There was great praise, recognition and respect for this, as well as long-lasting applause from the audience, including from the supervising professors Haag and Dartsch.

Let there be light! And there was light

The evening's main concert was complemented by a pedagogically prepared concert of Creation for schoolchildren in the morning. And it was precisely to this line of the choir's text that the concert hall was illuminated in all its glory, eliciting murmurs and amazement from the delighted and actively participating pupils. Some 5th and 6th graders from Würzburg and the surrounding area - some of them from as far away as Ansbach - came to take advantage of this opportunity. The moderation duo of "Papa Haydn" and "Nannerl Mozart" guided the lower school pupils through a colorful program of body percussion, instrumentation listening, stage tasting, sorting vocal groups and, above all, lots of music from creation!
Varied, creative, sometimes nuanced, sometimes brilliant - a concert day all about creation!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in front of, on, above and below the stage!
