Two revolutionary works. One iconic evening. From Orff’s thunderous power to Gershwin’s jazz-infused brilliance, hear both Carmina Burana and Rhapsody in Blue performed by the Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra.

Few works ignite the stage like Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Since its explosive 1937 premiere, this bold, rhythm-driven masterpiece has captivated audiences worldwide. From the thunderous opening of “O Fortuna” to its final return, Carmina Burana is a visceral musical journey that still resonates in film, television and pop culture.

Sharing the program is Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, featuring award-winning pianist Byeol Kim. This groundbreaking 1924 piece blends classical tradition with the raw energy of jazz, capturing the vibrant pulse of 1920s America. Experience two revolutionary works in one unforgettable evening—each one bold, iconic and a powerful testament to music’s enduring impact.
