Come and experience the thrill of singing Carl Orff’s monumental Carmina Burana in an enaging full-day choral singing event that will culminate in an electrifying evening performance!
Under the expert guidance of Ben England BEM, you will explore this iconic work for mixed choir, with a fantastic accompanying arrangement for two pianos and percussion.
This will be provided by Ana England and Kate Woodman on pianos, and by Faith Stonehewer, Grace Goodwin and Katie England on percussion.
The day will also feature wonderful professional singers Charlie Morris, Samir Savant, and Rebecca De Coverly Veale, who together with the rest of the music team will help to make this a truly unforgettable occasion!
Whether it’s the drama of the well-known O Fortuna, the bawdy fun of In Taberna, or the triumphant joy of Ave Formosissima, Carmina Burana is a fun and satisfying sing, whether it's for the first or fifteenth time.
