Follow on Google News | CPR to broadcast Saturday's Colorado Symphony performance of Carmina BuranaLive Colorado Public Radio statewide broadcast begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 2
Composed in 1837, "Carmina Burana" remains one of the most popular works in the classical music repertoire thanks to its universal appeal, risqué and provocative subject matter, and pure "rock concert appeal." Today, O Fortuna – the opening and closing to "Carmina Burana" – can be heard in films ranging from "Excalibur" to "Natural Born Killers" to "The Hunt for Red October," as well as dozens of action movie trailers and commercials. Often regarded as a celebration of springtime, "Carmina Burana" embraces the vivid emotions and heightened sensory awareness that people often feel as the earth awakens after a long winter. Saturday's CPR broadcast will reach symphony fans who would not otherwise have access to the concert; offering them the chance to experience the artistry of internationally renowned guest artists together with the exceptional musicians of the Colorado Symphony, Colorado Symphony Chorus and Colorado Children's Chorale. The CPR broadcast begins at 7 p.m. – 30 minutes before the start of the concert. Classical Music Hosts will introduce the music to-be-heard during live broadcast, as well as interview musicians and artistic leadership backstage.
