´óÏó´«Ã½

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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ Proms is very grateful to counter-tenor Matthias Rexroth for taking his place at very short notice.
