The Creation is an oratorio written between 1797 and 1798 by Austrian Composer, Joseph Haydn and considered by many to be his masterpiece. The oratorio depicts and celebrates the creation of the world based on the Book of Genesis, Psalms and John Milton's Paradise Lost. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Zielinski, the Bartlesville Choral Society and members of the Bartlesville Symphony Orchestra will be joined by Nicole Van Every, Soprano, Rodney Wesbrooke, Tenor, and Thomas Cannon, Bass- Baritone.

With the retirement of Maestra Susan Mueller, the 2018- 2019 season will be directed by three different directors. They are, in essence, auditioning for Susan's spot. It will be an exciting season for the audience, as well as, for the Choral Society. It will be a fun journey for all of us.
