Greenwich Choral Society announces a concert featuring Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana” along with excerpts from Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” at The Performing Arts Center at Greenwich High School on Saturday, February 25, 4pm.
The rhythmic charge of Carl Orff’s popular Carmina Burana is the central work in a concert that will feature the unusual interplay of voices, piano and percussion.
Delight in the youthful energy of the Fairfield County Children’s Chorus and three soloists, soprano Brittany Hebel, countertenor Tanner Logan, and baritone Marcus DeLoach.
Based on texts written by clergy and students in the 11th-13th centuries, Orff’s Secular Songs for Soloists and Choruses accompanied by Instruments and Magic Images captures the blissfulness of youth, love and drinking through simple, repeated melodies, and an innate sense of theatricality. Coupled with Bernstein’s ecstatic Chichester Psalms, anticipate a memorable afternoon.
Tickets are $55, $40 and $25, and are free for students K-12.
