San Francisco Symphony

For just one night, Christian Reif leads the Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Symphony and Chorus in Carl Orff’s exhilarating epic showpiece, Carmina Burana. Arguably the most iconic choral work of the twentieth century, its unforgettable opening, “O Fortuna,” has become a pop culture phenomenon. From lusty drinking songs to ballads cursing fickle lovers, Carmina Burana's texts have universally enchanted listeners since the medieval age. Catch it while you can at Davies Symphony Hall.
