    Yakima Symphony Orchestra Classical Series Carmina Burana 
    STRAUSS JR. Wine, Women, and Song
    Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is one of the most electrifying and recognizable choral works of the 20th century. This powerful oratorio, featuring orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists, is a raw and dramatic celebration of fate, fortune, and earthly pleasures. Unlike many traditional oratorios rooted in sacred themes, Carmina Burana is entirely secular, based on medieval poems about love, revelry, and the unpredictability of life. To complement the evening’s theme, the program also includes Johann Strauss Jr’s Wine, Women, and Song, a lively waltz that echoes the spirit of Orff’s masterpiece. 7:30?pm
