"Origins" is a major new oratorio conceived by singer and evolutionary geneticist, Jenny Graves, as a secular successor to Haydn's 200-year-old "Creation".
Jenny co-wrote the libretto with fellow singer and poet, Leigh Hay.
Heidelberg Choral Society commissioned brilliant young Melbourne musician, Nicholas Buc to compose the score.



"Origins" brings the beauty and wonder of science to the public, expressing some of the most profound scientific truths in inspirational music.

It fills a gap in the choral repertoire for major contemporary secular works and we expect it will be performed in Australia and overseas for decades to come.

Join us in sharing this unique experience as we present a musical description of the early universe, the fundamentals of molecular life and evolution that has never been attempted before!



As with all major projects, this work requires significant resources, including funding for the commissioned score, performance venue, orchestra and soloists.

"Origins" is a unique combination of science and music that provides light and culture to our lives.
