Carmina Burana at Bankhead Theater March 8 March 8, 2008

The Valley Concert Chorale, the Tri-Valley's premier chorus, in collaboration with the Cantabella Children's Chorus and San Francisco Concert Chorale, will perform Carl Orff's ever-popular and dramatic choral masterpiece Carmina Burana on Saturday, March 8, 2008, at 8 p.m. at the new Bankhead Theater. The theater is located at 2400 First Street in downtown Livermore.

Accompanied by two pianos, percussion, and professional soloists, Carmina Burana is perhaps the most performed choral work throughout the world.

"We are very excited to be performing this incredible music as part of the Bankhead Theater's inaugural season," says John Emory Bush, Artistic Director of the Valley Concert Chorale and San Francisco Concert Chorale. "This is music that will move your soul and excite your spirit. Our 2006 performance of Carmina received a standing ovation from a sold-out audience. We hope to do the same this year."

Also performing will be the Chorale's own accompanist Daniel Glover, an internationally known concert pianist. He will open the evening with piano selections by Franz Liszt.

Tickets are $25, plus any applicable theater service fees.
