Dan Forrest's Creation Presented By Collegedale Academy Musicians

  • Monday, April 21, 2025

Collegedale Academy’s student singers and musicians, under the direction of Lawrence Galera, will bring Dan Forrest’s new choral masterpiece Creation to life.

Review for Creation:

Written on the 225th anniversary of Haydn’s similarly-themed masterpiece, this oratorio explores the beauty of our planet and the character of its Creator.

Mr. Forrest’s awe-inspiring composition has already wowed audiences around the world with performances by ensembles like the Fresno Master Chorale, Vox Anima London, and the Rivertree Singers.

For one evening, the greater Chattanooga community is invited to experience this free musical journey live on Saturday, May 3, at 7 p.m. at Collegedale Community Church.

"We’re thrilled to share this incredible piece with our community,” says Mr. Galera. “Dan Forrest’s music speaks to the soul—it lifts you up, draws you in, and leaves a lasting impression.”
