Hair Raising Spectacular!

No season is complete without a rousing performance of Carl Orff's lustful and triumphant Carmina Burana and its showstopping O Fortuna chorus. Conductor David Robertson conducts the San Francisco Symphony through this roof-raising piece, joined by the San Francisco Symphony Chorus and a host of talented soloists! 

Originally derived from a series of Medieval poems, Carmina Burana has become one of the most exhilarating live experiences to be found in concert halls across the world and as one not to be missed whenever it's performed. As well as this hair raiser, Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson joins the symphony to perform the world premiere of a newly commissioned piano concerto by John Adams, while Charles Ives' The Unanswered Question opens the performance.
