Steiner Chorale performs Haydn’s “The Creation”

May 9, 2015 – The Steiner Chorale performs Joseph Haydn’s “The Creation” at the newly built Chapel at South Church in Lansing, MI.  The Steiner Chorale is based in East Lansing and conducted by Corb H. Felgenhour.  The text of the Creation is based largely on the opening chapter of Genesis from the Bible and was translated to English by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker.  Soloists included Madison Deadson (winner of the Ethel J. Armeling Competition), Benjamin Knapp, Chris Grapentine, Leo Sell, Troy Seyfert, Jennifer Worth, Mary Jo Corbett, and Molly Eschelbach.  The Steiner Chorale is accompanied by Takis Pizanis.

One of his greatest accomplishments, “The Creation” was completed by Haydn in 1798 and was quickly performed all over Europe.
