Microphone in a microphone stand
Our first concert of 2026 will feature a performance of Haydn's oratorio The Creation.

This is one of the most popular pieces in the choral repertoire, its joyful mood making it a great favourite with both audiences and performers.
The work is conceived on a grand scale with three soloists singing beautiful, lyrical, music while greatly uplifting choruses celebrate each stage of God's creation. Highly imaginative orchestral tone-colouring accompanies passages describing the various natural phenomena, perhaps best known of which is The Representation of Chaos which opens the proceedings. Its shifting, vague, unresolved harmonies depict the shapeless void before the creation of the physical universe and lead to the explosive introduction of LIGHT.

We hope you will join us for our performance of this wonderful masterpiece.

NCS has been awarded a grant towards the costs of the concert from the Hadrian Trust who support causes and communities in the North East.
