The concert will take place on Saturday, April 27th at 7:30 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, and will feature Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
Carmina Burana is one of the most well-loved and exciting choral works of the 20th century, with powerful music, driving rhythms, and strong characterization of its colorful text.
