Singing alongside internationally acclaimed soloists, UWA students participated in the 2011 Perth International Arts Festival event,
The Creation
.
The Academy of Ancient Music and the St George's Cathedral Consort Choir, joined soprano, Sara Macliver, tenor, Timothy Robinson, and bass, Peter Harvey to perform The Creation by Joseph Haydn at the Perth Concert Hall in February.
They were led by director Richard Egarr who also played harpsichord.
Several current and former students at UWA and St Georges College took part in the chorus.
The Creation by Haydn, a prolific and prominent composer of the Classical period, was composed in the late eighteenth century. The work, written in three parts, is a vivid interpretation of the seven days of creation and is considered to be his masterpiece.
