Election Night: Carmina Burana

Tuesday, November 6, 2012 - 12:57pm

"Carmina Burana" was written in 1936 and remains Orff's best-known work, although he also is well known for his innovations in music pedagogy. Over the course of 25 brief movements arranged in five major sections, the composition elaborates on themes common to the human experience-from the inconsistency of good fortune and wealth-to mankind's vices-from the brevity of life to the joy of rebirth at each spring thaw.

The Spoltight on Arts festival will have special offerrings all week, but this concert will undoubtedly be one of the highlighs. Don't miss it.
