Windy City Performing Arts to Present David Cerda in CARMINA BURANA
WCPA's Windy City Gay Chorus and Windy City Treble Quire are proud to offer two performances of composer Carl Orff's spectacular operatic classic Carmina Burana on Sat, March 19, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church at The Chicago Temple (77 W. Washington St., Chicago). Tickets are available now at http://wcpacarminaburana.brownpapertickets.org.
Under the direction of Artistic Director Paul Caldwell, and in collaboration with David Cerda and Hell In a Handbag Productions, Carmina Burana will be brought to life by WCPA in a one-of-a-kind production of music, singing, and theatrics that will put a new, unforgettable twist on this timeless classic!
One of the most popular pieces in classical music repertoire, Carmina Burana is full of texts that are as relevant now as when they were when they were written in the 13th century. The piece reverberates with powerful themes about the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return to Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling, and lust.
WCPA's Carmina Burana promises to be a memorable, musical, tour de force for the senses. Revel in the colorful glory of this timeless piece and let's call the whole thing "Orff!"
Celebrating 37 lyrical years, WCPA is Chicago's premier LGBTQ+ choral arts organization encompassing Windy City Gay Chorus and Windy City Treble Quire. WCPA celebrates diversity, honors creativity, and cultivates pride through the transformative power of music and the arts.
