The Larimer Chorale is opening its 50th season with Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana this week in Fort Collins. The group’s concert calendar lists performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at the University Center for the Arts. A separate event listing places the concerts in Griffin Concert Hall, 1400 Remington St. Good Day Fort Collins also advertised those Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon times.
The chorale said it will be joined by the Centennial Children’s Chorus, professional soloists and an orchestra. The official program note describes Carmina Burana as a choral and orchestral setting of a medieval collection of secular poetry, with texts in Latin, Middle High German and old Provençal French, and subjects that include drinking, gambling, love and everyday life. The group is billing the concerts as the opening of its anniversary season. Tickets are sold through the chorale’s box office.
