Los Robles Master Chorale Will Sing Carmina
Burana
Carl Orff’s bravura choral masterwork, Carmina Burana, will be performed by Los Robles Master Chorale at a special end-of-season concert on Sunday, June 9 at St. Julie Billiart Catholic Church in Newbury Park. The classic work, conducted by Artistic Director Lesley Leighton, will pair the renowned regional chorale with special guest artists, including dual pianists, percussionists, and vocal soloists.
Pianists Lisa Edwards and Mary Kay Altizer and percussionists Sidney Hopson and Lauren Kosty will provide the accompaniment for this spirited classic. Guest soloists will be soprano Deborah Mayhan, tenor Timothy Gonzales, and baritone Abdiel Gonzalez.
One of the most beloved works in the choral repertoire, Carmina Burana sets a collection of secular poems written by medieval monks. Despite their religious origins, the songs celebrate such earthly pleasures as drinking, gambling, dancing, and lovemaking. The stirring music is widely familiar, having been used in countless films and television programs.
Carmina Burana will be performed Sunday, June 9 at 7:30 PM at St. Julie Billiart Catholic Church, 2475 Borchard Road, Newbury Parks. Seats are $22 for adults, $18 for students/seniors, with $10 Student Rush one hour before concert, with valid picture I.D.
