OBF closes its season with a breathtaking finale: Haydn’s The Creation, a luminous masterpiece that captures the wonder, mystery, and joy of a world being born. From the hushed opening chaos to the blazing, iconic C-major explosion when the chorus proclaims “Light!”, this is music that startles, dazzles, and uplifts more than two centuries after its premiere. Join a celebration of the beauty of nature, the power of human imagination, and the radiant artistry that defines Oregon Bach Festival. Conducted by OBF artistic partner, Jos van Veldhoven.
