Musica Viva NY and our Allen-Stevenson Select Chorus brought the audience at All Souls Church to their feet! Yesterday's performance of "O, Fortuna" from Carmina Burana was nothing short of extraordinary. The Musica Viva Chorus, pianists, and percussion section were stellar, and our A-S boys sang like angels.
For everyone fortunate enough to have been in the room, it was clear that the boys were participating in something truly special. Click here to listen to a short clip of this stunning, powerful, and probably familiar piece - 11th and 12th-century poems written in Latin set to music by Carl Orff. Many of the boys recognized this composition from its use in film, video games, and TV commercials.
We are deeply grateful to A-S Music Department Head, Ms. Demko, for her expertise in bringing out the very best in our boys and for creating this unique and exceptional opportunity to perform with a professional chorus.
