Our stage will be full to the brim with orchestra musicians, soloists, and choirs to bring “Carmina Burana” to life. We journey from the first buds of Spring, to a raucous sing-a-long in a tavern, and finally to a slightly bawdy love story. We also welcome back Stephen Seifert to share the second concerto for Mountain Dulcimer by Conni Ellisor.

Featuring Allison Prost, soprano soloist.

The University of Findlay Choirs will present the choral music of father and son, Leopold Mozart and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The University Singers will perform Leopold’s choral music in celebration of the 300th anniversary of his birth. The Concert-Chorale will perform one of the most well-known choral pieces, Requiem, which was created by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and completed by his pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr. The choirs will be under the direction of Dr. SeaHwa Jung, Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Findlay. 

Soloists for the event include Allison Prost, soprano; Sedona Libero, mezzo-soprano; Yungmin Kim, tenor; and Samuel Kidd, bass. The performance is free and open to the public.
