CANTON - The scenic cantata Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff, will be performed by the University Chorus, Canton’s community chorus, Saturday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. in Peterson-Kermani Performance Hall, St. Lawrence University.
The event is open to the public, free of charge.
Originally conceived as a theater piece, the cantata takes its title from a manuscript collection of medieval poetry found in a Benedictine monastery in Bavaria. Orff set 24 of the poems to music.
Carmina Burana will be performed in a two-piano and percussion arrangement. Pianists are Barbara Phillips-Farley and François Germain, from the Crane School of Music; vocal soloists are David Pittman-Jennings, baritone, and Jill Pearon, soprano, also of Crane, along with tenor Christopher Pfund. St. Lawrence percussion instructor and Crane senior Kyle Tupper leads five percussionists, and a chorus of Canton Middle School singers, students of Kimberly Bush, will also perform.
