Cape Fear Chorale, in collaboration with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra and the UNCW Choirs, proudly presents Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana—a powerful and provocative work that continues to thrill audiences nearly a century after its premiere.

Best known for its unforgettable opening and closing movement "O Fortuna," this epic cantata sets 24 medieval poems to explosive music that explores the whims of fate, the pleasures of life, and the unpredictability of fortune. From grand choral forces to intimate solos, Carmina Burana is a feast of rhythm, intensity, and raw emotion.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music that is both ancient and timeless—bold, bawdy, and breathtakingly beautiful.
