Orff: Carmina burana


  • Marian Anderson Hall 300 South Broad Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19102 United States (map)

If ever there was music meant to mimic the rush of blood through the veins of youth, this is it: Lusty love songs, drinking anthems, pagan celebrations, and odes to the moon, mined from medieval texts, have made this choral thriller a favorite since its creation nearly a century ago. This headlong rush to passion is the climax of a trio of thrilling works, from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s wild orchestral ride to Gabriela Ortiz’s beguiling imaginings of the love story between Clara and Robert Schumann.
