Isle of Wight Cantata Choir
Spring 2023 Concert

7.30pm, Saturday 22nd April
Medina Theatre, Fairlee Road, Newport

- Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana'

- Eric Whitacre's 'Lux Aurumque'
and 'The Seal Lullaby'

Performing great works of classical music since 1956,
Isle of Wight Cantata Choir is one of the largest and most established choral groups on the Island.

With c.120 singers, supported by professional soloists and IOW Symphony Orchestra musicians,
we perform one of the best loved choral works of the 20th century, Carl Orff’s 'Carmina Burana’.

This great classic, with its opening being among the grandest statements in all choral literature,
is an exuberant celebration of the power of music at its simplest,
yet most versatile: beautiful melody and raw rhythm.

The themes are varied and explore the vagaries of Fate;
the joys and beauty of nature,
the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust
- with triumph and disaster dealt at random, by the wheel of fortune.

In complete contrast, we also perform
Eric Whitacre’s 'The Seal Lullaby' and 'Lux Aurumque’
that exude harmonic richness together with elegant simplicity.
