ORFF Carmina Burana

Songs of love, lust, and drinking will resonate throughout the Knight Theater, as the Charlotte Symphony joins forces with the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte and Charlotte Children’s Choir to present two performances of Carl Orff’s boisterous and sometimes bawdy Carmina Burana.

Plan to stay after the concert for a post-concert party featuring early music performers, The Charlotte Waites, and beer tasting provided by Olde Mecklenburg Brewery! Let the wheel of fortune turn!
