About this Event

On Wednesday, May 6, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s dynamic duo is back – this time, with the spotlight on Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana!

VSO Music Director Andrew Crust and composer James Stewart explore this thrilling cantata based on medieval poems celebrating the joys of life, love, and fortune, in preparation for VSO’s season finale concert at The Flynn.

Relax at the Venetian Soda Lounge in Burlington with Andrew and James as they take you through Orff’s renowned score, providing historical background, musical analysis, and commentary on this work, with visual and musical examples. While you don’t need to be familiar with Medieval Latin to enjoy Carmina Burana, impress your concert-going friends with added insight from this listening party (before the concert at 7:30pm on May 9).

Tickets to Carmina on the Rocks are available at sliding scale pricing, and they’ll sell out fast. Nibbles provided; cash bar on site.
