The YOSA Philharmonic proudly presents a full performance of Carl Orff's “Carmina Burana” with the San Antonio Mastersingers and the Children’s Chorus of San Antonio. Known for its thunderous rhythms and soaring melodies, Orff’s raucous setting of 24 medieval poems engages with themes of love, life, and fate with satirical undertones. Experience the raw emotion and energy of this powerful choral work live and in its entirety. YOSA Repertory Strings will open the performance, setting the stage for this epic night of music.
