Carl Orff's cantata Carmina Burana is a major undertaking for a musical ensemble, requiring a huge chorus, a children's chorus, a big orchestra, and three soloists asked to sing very demanding music. We hear from conductor Paul McShee about a rare performance of this exciting work taking place on the Binghamton University campus on Sunday, April 28 at 3pm in the Osterhout Concert Theatre of the Anderson Center.
Exciting music that requires large forces
