Sydney Chamber Choir Presents Carmina Burana
2026-03-22 15:00 (Australia/Sydney) | City Recital Hall, 2 Angel Place, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
Sydney Chamber Choir conducted by Sam Allchurch performs Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana in the version for two pianos and percussion brought vividly to life with three outstanding soloists and the pure, luminous sound of Sydney Children’s Choir.
Soloists soprano Celeste Lazarenko, tenor Louis Hurley and baritone Simon Meadows are joined by pianists Luke Byrne and Jem Harding with percussionist Jess Ciampa in this transcription that Orff himself created,
Few works command such instant recognition as Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. From the electrifying opening O Fortuna to moments of shimmering tenderness, this choral masterpiece celebrates the passions, fortunes and follies of life with irresistible energy.
Balancing Orff’s exuberance are Nardi Simpson’s Dharriwaa – Narran Lakes Dreaming and Paul Stanhope’s I am Martuwarra, two Australian works that celebrate in language and song deep connections to Country, alongside David Conte’s radiant and lyrical Invocation and Dance.
