What On Earth is Carmina Burana?
You’ve heard it. You just might not know it yet.
That thundering, spine-tingling chorus that shows up in movie trailers, sporting events, and your most dramatic shower performances — that’s Carmina Burana. And there’s so much more to it than that famous opening chord.
Join Keys 2 Success and The Discovery Orchestra for an unforgettable evening of guided listening, live performance, and genuine musical discovery. This interactive session will pull back the curtain on one of the most thrilling — and most misunderstood — pieces in the classical repertoire. You’ll hear it differently than you ever have before. You might even fall a little bit in love with it.
No musical background required. No prior knowledge needed. Just bring your curiosity and an open ear.
