The Santa Clara Chorale closes its season with a triumphant performance of Joseph Haydn’s The Creation, presented in collaboration with the Santa Clara University Choirs and full orchestra. One of the most joyful and awe-inspiring masterworks of the choral repertoire, The Creation bursts with vivid musical imagery—from the chaos before time to the radiant birth of light, earth, sea, sky, and all living things. With its dramatic storytelling, sparkling orchestration, and profound reverence for the natural world, this oratorio is a fitting finale to a season that has explored origins, wonder, and the human connection to the cosmos. Don’t miss this exhilarating celebration of life, light, and the divine spark of creation.
