In 1803, hun­dreds of medi­ev­al texts were found in the base­ment of a Bav­ari­an mon­as­tery. The verses writ­ten in Lat­in tell uncensored stor­ies about a person’s worldly life, which included erot­i­cism, unres­trained drunk­en­ness, and gambling. From these texts, Carl Orff com­posed his gigant­ic mas­ter­piece, Car­mina Bur­ana, a the­at­ric­al can­tata con­tain­ing exuber­ant drama, which music shocks, enter­tains and amazes like an irres­ist­ible nat­ur­al phenomenon.

Dur­a­tion approx­im­ately 1h 30mins. No intermission.

Wed 24 May at 19.00, Tapi­olas­ali, Espoo Cul­tur­al Centre

Siell’ on kauan jo kukkin­eet omenapuut… Mun uneni iltapilviä on… ”
The top choirs oper­at­ing with­in Aalto Uni­ver­sity, Dom­in­ante and the Poly­tech Choir, are join­ing forces to cel­eb­rate the 140th anniversary of the crown jew­el of Finnish chor­al music, Toivo Kuula. The con­cert includes all the most import­ant works of the composer’s extens­ive chor­al pro­duc­tion. It is rare to get to hear Kuula’s most beloved mixed and male chor­al works per­formed at a high level in the same con­cert; this joint con­cert gives you that oppor­tun­ity. At the end of the con­cert, the choirs’ joint num­ber is the majest­ic Hymn of the Sea. The con­cert will be led by the choirs’ artist­ic dir­ect­ors Saara Ait­tak­um­pu and Seppo Murto. Tick­ets are avail­able now from lippu.fi.
