Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Celebrate the 35th installment of the annual Spring Oratorio performed by the combined USNA Men's and Women's Glee Clubs, the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Goucher College.
In 1936, Carl Orff set to music a series of poems from an anonymous thirteenth century manuscript that chronicles an exuberant and earthy celebration of fate and fortune. This program continues a long tradition of great performances combining the professional skill of the Annapolis Symphony with the Naval Academy's own nationally acclaimed Glee Club.
