Prom 17: Orff’s Carmina burana by Stravinsky, Orff, From (2023/2023), Conductor Kazuki Yamada, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

About This Event Experience the awe-inspiring power of a full orchestra with massed choir and operatic soloists. Sacred and secular collide in a Prom that unites two choral classics: Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky and Carl Orff’s Carmina burana. The former offers music steeped in classical tradition yet interpreted with a fresh perspective, while the latter – with its famous ‘O Fortuna!’ opening – is an extravagant musical celebration of springtime, youth, wine and sex.
