Join the VOCA Chorus of Toronto for Carl Orff's epic  CARMINA BURANA  & other selections on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 7:30 pm.VOCA's May 10th concert, our final performance celebrating Jenny Crober's 20th Anniversary Season as Artistic Director will open with selections by Andrew Balfour, Brian Tate and others, and include choir favourites from past seasons. Our first set will finish with an opera chorus featuring our special guest, tenor Andrew Haji. A former professional lead with VOCA, Andrew is now one of Canada's most celebrated operatic and concert soloists (Andrew Haji). We will close our Season 'with a bang' when we launch into a performance of Carl Orff's epic, electrifying and goosebump-inducing CARMINA BURANA! The ancient 11th and 12th Century texts (written in Latin, Middle High German and Old French), which are as relevant today as ever, speak of the often fleeting nature of life, the fickleness of fortune, the joy of love and Spring's return, and the perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust. The iconic opening and closing chorus, O Fortuna, needs to be heard live in order to experience just how truly thrilling and riveting it is! You may think that you've never heard this spine-tingling selection, but you very likely have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6TvKJxsjho.
