Carmina Burana by Carl Orff (1895–1982) is brought to life in a collaboration between Coro del Teatro del Bicentenario and Banda de Música del Estado de Guanajuato, under the musical direction of Adalberto Tovar and the choral direction of Jaime Castro Pineda. This staged cantata, composed in the 20th century to medieval texts, explores themes of fortune, desire, and human vulnerability through a bold and compelling musical language.
The programme is completed with Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971), a work that, far from the traditional symphonic model, combines liturgical and modern elements in a reflection on the sacred. The choice of these two pieces proposes a dialogue between contrasting visions of the human spirit, from the pagan to the religious, in a choral-orchestral experience of great artistic depth.
