Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (with chorus)
Orff's Carmina Burana
Tchaikovsky’s politically charged 1812 Overture was composed to celebrate the Russian defeat of the Napoleonic army. This stirring patriotic hymn has also been adopted as a symbol of U.S. independence. Carl Orff’s rousing Carmina Burana contains one of the most versatile musical pieces in the entire Western canon: the opening section, O Fortuna, featured in a multitude of soundtracks for movies, advertisements, video games and sports events.
Hailed for her “sparkling soprano” and “strong presence” on stage, young American soprano Amanda Hall is earning a reputation for outstanding performances of demanding repertoire on both the operatic and concert stages.
