The Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra's season finale promises to be a spectacular culmination of FBSO’s anniversary season, blending orchestral and choral voices in Carl Orff’s 1937 masterpiece, Carmina Burana.

One of the classical music lover’s favorite concert pieces, Carmina Burana is described as “having something for everybody.” The audience will enjoy recognizing the musical themes from Carmina Burana that they’ve heard in everyday life, from advertising commercials to hip-hop and rap music. Orff’s work has a far-reaching musical influence. Carmina Burana takes the audience through the wheel of fortune’s circle as it turns through the excesses of life, showing how fate and fortune impact our lives.
