Carmina Burana, Symphony of Psalms and Symphonic Dances

Instantly recognizable due to its use in countless films, TV shows and adverts, a live Carmina Burana is one of classical music’s most exhilarating experiences for performers and audience alike. The version we will perform is the composer’s own arrangement for two pianos and a veritable ‘battery’ of percussion. The concert also features Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms, in its arrangement by Dmitri Shostakovich for choir and piano duet. This is also to commemorate 50 years since his death. The concert is completed with Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story in an arrangement for two pianos.
