SUMMARY:VSO at the Flynn: O Fortuna!
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nThe season finale opens with a piece by Gabriela Ortiz exploring the Kauyamari\, or “blue deer\,” from Mexican folklore\, a spiritual guide transformed through an extended pilgrimage. The concert follows with the epic Carmina Burana\, a thrilling cantata by Carl Orff based on medieval poems celebrating the joys of life\, love\, and fortune. With its famous opening\, O Fortuna\, this dynamic work combines chorus\, soloists\, and full orchestra in a dramatic journey from fate’s cruelty to the pleasures of spring\, tavern revelry\, and courtly romance. Whether grand and ominous or tender and playful\, Carmina Burana is an unforgettable musical spectacle—visceral\, vivid\, and emotionally charged. This performance promises an electrifying experience that showcases the full force of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in one of the most iconic and beloved works of the 20th century. \nThe concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is preceded at 6:30 p.m. by Musically Speaking\, a free pre-concert discussion that provides entertaining insight into the evening’s program.  \nNote: there is no intermission; the concert duration is approximately 90 minutes. \n  \n For venue accessibility services\, visit The Flynn’s website by clicking here. \n  \n  \nAndrew Crust\, conductor \nGoitsemang Lehobye\, soprano \nBrian Giebler\, tenor \nTroy Cook\, baritone \nVSO Chorus; Jose-Daniel Flores Caraballo\, Chorus Director \nChildren’s Chorus; Lori Marino\, Chorus Director \n  \n \n                      Brian Giebler\, Goitsemang Lehoybe\, Troy Cook \n  \nPROGRAM \nGabriela Ortiz – Kauyumari \nCarl Orff – Carmina Burana \n  \nThis concert is generously supported by Eleanor Long\, Barbara Wessel\, Susan Jenkins (in memory of The Hon.
