“Characterised by technical skill and exquisite beauty of sound, the choruses were the highlights of this unforgettable evening.”
(Neue Rhein Zeitung)
The Cathedral Choir gave two "triumphant" performances of Haydn's Creation in the fine Mercatorhalle in Duisburg Germany on 24 and 25 March.
The conductor was Jonathan Darlington, General Musical Director of the Duisburg Philharmoniker and Stephen Darlington's brother. The fact that this was the first time that the brothers had worked together created a great deal of excitement and both concerts were completely sold-out: Both evenings ended with raptuous applause and standing ovations. The orchestra were very welcoming and, in between the many rehearsals and the concerts, organised brilliant excursions which included a visit to the Lego Discovery Centre, and Duisburg Zoo with its amazing dolphins!
