Carmina Burana
Details
With its shimmering orchestration and primal rhythms, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is a mainstay in the contemporary canon of music for choir and orchestra. Its lyrics are based on Medieval poems, addressing issues as familiar to us today as they were when they were first written—wealth, vices, love, and the nature of life. The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus joins forces with soprano Amy Owens, tenor Spencer Hamlin, and bass-baritone Ed Parks to make this season finale a tour de force. This outstanding program opens with Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel’s Overture in C Major, followed by Associate Concertmaster Ruxandra Marquardt performing Mozart’s 5th Violin Concerto.
