Â鶹Éç

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.

Mari Eriksmoen, the advertised soprano, has had to withdraw from tonight’s performance owing to health reasons. The Â鶹Éç Proms is grateful to Maki Mori for taking her place at short notice.

Levy Sekgapane, the advertised tenor, has had to withdraw from tonight’s performance owing to illness. The Â鶹Éç Proms is very grateful to counter-tenor Matthias Rexroth for taking his place at very short notice.
