Hunts Phil Summer Concert (with St Ives Choral Society)

Carmina Burana, Romeo & Juliet

Add to my Calendar 24-06-2023 19:30 24-06-2023 21:30 36 Hunts Phil Summer Concert (with St Ives Choral Society) A free ticket is available to the companion of any disabled person who needs help in order to attend concerts. *** How would we describe our next concert? Raucous, bold, tender, imposing, sensual, lively and controlled. 'Which is it?' you might ask, and the answer is all of them of course! Carl Orff based this ‘scenic cantata’ on a set of poems from the 12-13th centuries. But don’t let that put you ‘orff’! (See what we did there?!) The content is anything but dull; most are spicy songs about gambling, drinking, dancing and…errr..the ‘lusty enjoyment of life’ so to speak! Talking of spice, some of you will recognise the opening song O Fortuna, from the 1970s Old Spice adverts. Was that before your time? Look no further than X-Factor – the theme tune O Fortuna was named the UK's most widely-heard classical track since records began! It’s a real hoot and to be honest it’s so bawdy that we are debating whether or not we should print a translation of the words in the concert programme…. We are joining forces with St Ives Choral Society to deliver what is sure to be a cracking performance and we’ve got some superb soloists to fill these huge roles!
