Feel The Power Of One Of The Most Memorable Works Ever Written!

A few pieces in classical music hit with the sheer force of Carmina Burana. From its thunderous opening, "O Fortuna," (instantly recognizable from movies, TV, and commercials) to its driving rhythms and unforgettable melodies, this is one of the most powerful and memorable works ever written.

Carmina Burana is about fate: its unpredictability, its cruelty, and its wild sense of humor. The music swings from primal and explosive to playful and strange, including a famously bizarre moment where a swan sings nostalgically about his beautiful life… while being roasted alive on a spit.

This concert marks a special milestone: the debut of our Children’s Choir, adding another layer of energy and excitement to an already electric experience.

Bold, visceral, and impossible to forget, Carmina Burana isn’t something you simply hear; it’s something you feel.
