James Francis Brown is being commissioned to write a new orchestral work to celebrate the 90th anniversary of SASO. Heartwood Wilding is inspired by the recent development of Heartwood Forest near St Albans.

The Creation is an oratorio written by Joseph Haydn between 1797 and 1798, and is considered by many to be one of his masterpieces. The oratorio depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as described in the Book of Genesis.
