About Carmina Burana: CBSO and Kazuki Yamada

Sex, drink and roasted swans – choral music isn’t meant to be this much fun! But the medieval monks who wrote the words to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana don’t seem to have been too bothered. Prepare for serious joy as Kazuki Yamada unleashes the CBSO and (count ’em) no fewer than three great Birmingham choirs; first, though, he rediscovers the blazing Sinfonia Sacra by former CBSO chief conductor Andrzej Panufnik.

Unfortunately, Mari Erksmoen and Thomas E. Bauer have had to withdraw from this performance due to illness. We are grateful to Jennifer France and Morgan Pearse who have stepped in at short notice to sing at this performance.
