Royal Scottish National Orchestra: Carmina Burana
Expect great tunes, unstoppable rhythms and some thoroughly bad behaviour when the RSNO bring Orff's outrageous Carmina Burana to Glasgow Royal Concert Hall!
About Royal Scottish National Orchestra: Carmina Burana
Passion, drink and roasted swans – choral music isn’t meant to be this much fun! But the medieval monks who wrote the words to Carmina Burana didn’t seem to have been that bothered. Expect great tunes, unstoppable rhythms and some thoroughly bad behaviour from Orff’s outrageous piece. Plus, we begin the evening with a playful cello concerto featuring the nonsense verse of Edward Lear, reimagined by Elena Langer and RSNO Principal Cellist Pei-Jee Ng.
