Under the artistic direction of Dustin Willetts, Cantabile Chamber Choir, Kulshan Chorus, Kulshan Youth Choir, and Sno-King Chorale perform Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Based on twenty-four poems from the medieval collection, Carmina Burana. The 11th, 12th, and 13th century poems cover a variety of topics, as familiar in the 13th as in the 21st century: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling, and lust. Together these poems and music describe activities along the great “wheel of life” or “wheel of fortune.” As the wheel spins, we may be uplifted in the world. But just as easily, the activities or wheel of life may crush us. The moral is that no one of us is greater than any other, no matter his or her status. We should treat each another as equals, each struggling for purpose and meaning in the great wheel that is life. Tickets available through www.brownpapertickets.com.

“One of my favorite dimensions of art is the way that it expresses itself within the context of the observer’s life. The meaning of the phrase “coming home” will be defined one way by a college student or traveler returning home for the first time in a great while. A man of tremendous faith in the face of death or illness might also have a unique focus on the phrase… Our upcoming concert series, entitled Coming Home, explores the many aspects of the meaning of those words. As we sing music that ranges from the turmoil of natural devastation to the safety, comfort, and belonging of a home, we want to tell your story. We hope that we can share in your experiences as you come and share in ours. Home is where the heart is and it is where beautiful music is created.” Dustin Willets, Artistic Director, Cantabile Chamber Choir. Doors open half an hour before the concert.
