 16:00, 19:30. A joint project of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra Russian Philharmonic, Conductor Gintaras Rinkyavichyus, Yurlov Russian State Academic Choir and the Children's Choir of the Bolshoi Theatre together with Elvira Hokhlova (soprano), Alexander Bogdanov (tenor) and Andrey Baturkin (baritone). Stage design by slide and video projections. Legendary cantata "Carmina Burana" - the most famous work by the German composer Carl Orff twentieth century. Written in 1937, the cantata today amazes the audience and its monumentality (as on an enormous part of the orchestra, and duration) and, at the same time, its artistic democracy, surprisingly combines the "seriousness" of the academic genre and its brightest sverhobraznuyu supply. Songs of Beuern (it's the translation of Carmina Burana) are the monument to secular art of the Renaissance. Cantata plotline is vague and associative. Song and orchestra parts represent contrast scenes from diverse and miscellaneous life. One sings of the sweets of life, happiness, unrestrained fun, beauty of nature in spring, passionate love; another one - hard life of monks and vagrant students. But the basic philosophical core is contemplation about changeful and puissant human destiny - Fortune.
