Hilton Head ~ Carl Orff: Carmina Burana Concert

John Morris Russell, Conductor
Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra Chorus
Claflin University Concert Choir, Dr. Charlie J. Toomer, Jr. Director

Carl Orff’s cantata, Carmina Burana, draws inspiration from medieval poetry and themes. The lyrics of “O Fortuna” express the idea of fate, the wheel of fortune, and the capriciousness of life.

“One of the most deliciously decadent and thrilling works for chorus and orchestra, Carmina expresses a kaleidoscope of emotions and enchantment” — John Morris Russell
