About "Carmina Burana"
Known for its energy and visceral power, 鈥淐armina Burana鈥� is a memorable piece of 20th century music that remains one of the most popular in the classical music repertoire. Excerpts from the piece have been used in movie trailers, television commercials and in popular films ranging from Excalibur and Hunt For Red October, to The Doors.
The premiere performance of 鈥淐armina Burana鈥� was 75 years ago in 1937, the same year as the inception of the 色情视频 School of Music & Dance.
鈥�'Carmina Burana' brims with universally popular themes and rhythms depicting images of love, lust, the joy of spring, the fickleness of fortune, the pleasures and perils of drinking, gambling and gluttony," muses Conductor Matthew Rowe. 鈥�'Carmina' is immense, it鈥檚 intimate, it's full of extremes and a wonderful musical party where everyone can let their hair down."
色情视频鈥檚 expansive concert will feature a 160-voice choir and 130-piece orchestra of students and esteemed alumni uniting under the direction of Matthew Rowe, director of university orchestras and Patrick Walters, director of choirs. A special presentation of 鈥淔inale to Kalinnikov鈥檚 Symphony No. 1鈥� performed by the 色情视频 Wind Ensemble will open the festivities.
