LIVE MUSIC
The Long Beach Symphony Orchestra (LBSO) will play “Carmina Burana” and “Angeles de Llama y Hielo” at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach. “Carmina Burana” was written in 1937 by German composer Carl Orff and requiring two choruses, the amazing Silver-Garburg piano duo and three vocal soloists.
Although composed in 1937, the complete title is “Carmina Burana-Latin and German Poems of a 13th Century Manuscript.” With excerpts used in many films and TV productions, the audience may find some of this exciting, thrilling music to be familiar.
The stage will erupt as it is graced with revered soloists Anna Schubert, Ashley Faatoalia, James Schaefer, Long Beach Camerata Singers, South Bay Children’s Choir and the Silver-Garburg piano duo.
Conductor Eckart Preu will hold a pre-concert lecture to discuss this music at 7 p.m.
Mexican composer Ana Lara is among the most notable, versatile, and highly respected classical music composers at work in Mexico today. Inspired by the evocative poetry of her countryman Francisco Serrano, “Angeles de Llama y Hielo” (Angels of Fire and Ice) presents a meditative orchestral exploration of spirituality, encompassing the soul of orchestral music.
