Portsmouth Pro Music - Carmina Burana

This April, Portsmouth Pro Musica, under the artistic direction of Priscilla Stevens French, will conclude the group's 40th anniversary season by performing Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. PPM will be joined in the performance by accompanists Adelyn Nelson and Kathy Fink, a percussion ensemble, and dancers from the Safe Haven Ballet. The three solo parts will be performed by soloists Maggie Finnegan, Neal Ferreira, and Will Prapestis.

Carmina Burana is a thrilling exploration of life's triumphs, tragedies, and the relentless force of fate. With its iconic opening "O Fortuna" setting the stage for a dynamic performance, this masterpiece features a powerful blend of soaring choral arrangements, vibrant percussion, and passionate soloists. From the raucous revelry of "In the Tavern" to the joyous celebration of "Spring," Carmina Burana pulses with raw emotion and exhilarating energy. A monumental feast for the senses, this performance promises to captivate and move audiences with its unforgettable musical drama.
