Ladies and gents, grab your goblets and get ready for wine, women, and song featuring the raucous revelry of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana! Performed by the Grammy Award-winning Pacific Chorale, this isn't just a concert, it's a rambunctious romp through the most celebrated drinking establishments of the 13th century, without the hangover. You'll be whisked from the budding romance of "Springtime" to the rollicking "In the Tavern," and sway arm-in-arm through "The Court of Love," all under the watchful eye of the goddess Fortuna herself.
So, channel your inner medieval minstrel, loosen your bowties and pearls, because we're turning the concert hall into the bawdiest watering hole in town.
You’ll not only get to enjoy the music but also commentary from Music Director Carl St.Clair as he guides you through the piece before it is performed. This concert is performed without intermission.
