Description
You are bidding on a pair of tickets to see the Worcester Chorus's performance of Carmina Burana on Sunday June 3, 2012 at 4PM at Mechanics Hall.
Sometimes called a "dramatic cantata", the Carmina Burana is based upon a group of 13th century poems that were discovered in the Benedictine monastery of Beuren in Bavaria. Written in medieval Latin and middle high German, yet this is one of the most recognizable of choral works because the "O Fortuna" section has been used in countless movies, television, and commercial productions over the years. Gina Beck, Soprano, Michael Steiger, Tenor, and Aaron Engebreth, Baritone.
The chorus will perform the work with two pianos and a large battery of percussion. Prepare to be entertained!
