You’ll experience Orff’s monumental and provocative Carmina Burana with double choirs—musical grandeur and power that will raise the roof of the Civic Center! These concerts are presented by EMC Insurance Companies. Concert Prelude Talks begin 45 minutes prior to each Masterworks concert in the East Lobby.
