If you go WHAT: Haydn’s “The Creation,” FLC String Chamber Orchestra, Choirs and community musicians, conducted by Brendan Barker. WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Hege says Haydn was a genius in the way he constructed “Creation.” “It unfolds dramatically, kind of like an opera,” he said. “The music tells a story, literally tells a story in the text.
