King's Lynn Festival Chorus: Carmina Burana

Ben Horden Conductor
Harriet Mountford Soprano
Rory Carver Tenor
Geoff Clapham Baritone
Hamish Brown & Francesca Lauri Pianos
Percussion of the British Sinfonietta

Contemplate the whims of fickle fortune with Carl Orff ’s sweeping cantata Carmina Burana. Based on medieval poetry, King’s Lynn Festival Chorus, with Music Director Ben Horden and a stellar line-up of guest artists, brings to life this masterpiece in all its visceral dimension.

The iconic O Fortuna, which opens the work, has become synonymous with epic moments in popular culture and sets the scene as we delve into fate, love, and the human condition.

Please note, this venue has changed from St Nicholas' Chapel to Kings Lynn Corn Exchange.

The Grade II listed facade of King's Lynn Corn Exchange is one of the town’s iconic buildings, facing the town's major public square.  The interior space was completely transformed in 1996 after a £4.4million rebuild to provide a wonderful venue for a variety of cultural events.
