A CHORAL society will be performing at a Bromsgrove church this month.

Barnt Green Choral Society will be performing Haydn’s oratorio, which depicts the creation of the world as described in the Book of Genesis.

Joseph Haydn was inspired to write the piece after hearing Handel’s oratorios on a visit to England in the late 1700s.

The society will be joined by two young soloists from Birmingham Conservatoire, soprano Victoria Adams and James Roland, a tenor.

The performance takes place from 7.30pm on Saturday, March 14, at All Saints Church in Burcot Lane.

Tickets cost £10, and are available by calling 0121 445 2344, or on the door. School students go free.
