Students can attend this concert for free when accompanied by an adult. Mr Updike and Mr. Heller will once again chaperone this and future concerts. If you're interested, kindly email either teacher to express your interest. The group generally goes to dinner before the concert.

Here is a release from the Orchestra:
"Carmina Burana, under the baton of Michael Francis, sets the tone for an epic 50th anniversary season. Carl Orff’s masterpiece has taken on a life of its own, from the Super Bowl to political spoofs to The Simpsons, but nothing takes away from the raw power of hearing the entire work live with The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay. Carmina Burana is based on a medieval collection of 13th-century poems in a combination of Latin, German and French."
