Summer Sundays at the Graycliff

Graycliff is pleased to host the Northern Chautauqua Community Choir for a performance of Creation by Dan Forrest!

Published in 2023 to mark the 225th anniversary of Joseph Haydn’s masterpiece of the same name, Forrest’s work offers a fresh and inspiring interpretation of the creative story. Blending a rich variety of texts and musical influences, Creation unfolds across twelve movements for choir, soloists, and chamber orchestra. Forrest’s signature style – both accessible and deeply expressive – brings the wonder and beauty of the creative process vividly to life. Widely praised for its universal appeal, the work has already seen frequent performances across the United States and Europe.

Doors open at 3 pm, with the performance beginning promptly at 4 pm in Graycliff’s new Visitor Center. Guests are invited to enjoy Open House tours of Graycliff from 3pm-4pm, included in the ticket price.

No outside food/drink permitted. Beverages (including wine and beer) and snacks will be available for purchase. Please arrive early to choose your ideal seat!

Celebrated throughout Chautauqua County, the Northern Chautauqua Community Choir is dedicated to fostering connection through joyful music-making and championing the work of living composers. This special performance of Creation also marks the culmination of the ensemble’s 10th season.
