"Carmina Burana" for a birthday

At the beginning of September 2021, the Boys Choir Lucerne (boys' and men's formation) was one of the first choirs to embark on a major project to mark its 10th anniversary after the long singing ban. Carl Orff's Carmina Burana was brought to the stage in a completely different way for once. The concept came from conductor Alessandro Cadario (I), whom the singers had met at a workshop of the European Choral Association (ECA) in Bonn. This was followed by further encounters with "peer to peer training" in Lucerne.

Cadario referred to the "imaginis magicis" mentioned by Orff in the subtitle. The work was not only sung, but the choir, which was expanded to include female singers, also performed the respective images under the guidance of choreographer Yvonne Sieber - a great challenge!
