The Australian Haydn Ensemble celebrated its tenth anniversary with a with a resplendent performance of Josef Haydn’s 1798 hero oratorio, The Creation, in collaboration with exceptional vocal soloists, an augmented ensemble of period and replica instruments and the Sydney Chamber Choir, all under the direction of Roland Peelman.
