On Sunday, March 30 at 4 p.m., Princeton Pro Musica and Roxey Ballet will join creative forces to perform Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana in the Kendall Main Stage Theater at the College of New Jersey in Ewing, under the direction of Princeton Pro Musica Artistic Director Ryan J. Brandau.

Carmina Burana is a set of poems and songs written by Bavarian monks in the 13th century, uncovered in the early 19th century, and set for large mixed chorus, treble chorus, and orchestra by Carl Orff in 1936. While written nearly 800 years ago, the poems are relevant.

Themes of time, fortune, springtime, passion, debauchery, and satirical critiques of those in power are in the text, eschewing religious piety, and embracing instead basic and primal human experiences.

After Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, few choral-orchestral works have made their way into popular culture more pervasively than Carmina Burana. A 2007 Gatorade commercial, the films Excalibur and Cheaper by the Dozen, Domino’s Pizza, and the show The X Factor are among the entities that have made use of the score.

Princeton Pro Musica exists to perform choral masterworks and other works of the choral literature. With a chorus of 100-plus voices, including primarily non-professionals and also selected professional singers, the chorus gives four performances a year. It also features orchestras with experienced professional musicians, drawn from New York City, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. The Met Opera Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and New Jersey Symphony are among those that have collaborated.

Based in New Hope, Pa., Roxey Ballet was incorporated in 1995 as a New Jersey nonprofit organization. Headed by Mark Roxey, the company has a mission to deliver artistic and cultural excellence through professional dance performances, residencies, educational programs, workshops, and master classes. Roxey Ballet takes pride in being a multicultural, all-inclusive organization that fosters a creative environment of growth for all.
