CARMINA BURANA, Carl Orff

Carmina burana by Carl Orff is one of the most important choral-instrumental works of the 20th century. Tonight’s unique performance will involve an extraordinary number of 300 vocalists from the USA and the Czech Republic! Carl Orff’s version for two pianos and percussion ensemble especially highlights virtuosic choral sections of this monumental work.
