A modern counterpart to Haydn's Creation, The Earthmakers relates creation myths from a variety of different cultures around the world, including Egyptian, Polynesian, Zuni and Inuit civilizations, the poetry of William Blake and Galway Kinnell, and even the Big Bang theory. George Shangrow and OSSCS premiered Seattle composer Carol Sams' oratorio in 1987 and are excited to present this thrilling work once again.
