We are thrilled to share with you this recording of the Durham Symphony in a memorable concert celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Choral Society of Durham!
On May 19th, 2024, in Duke’s Baldwin Auditorium, the Durham Symphony joined forces with the Choral Society of Durham and the Little River Chorus to perform Carl Orff’s most famous work, the epic cantata Carmina Burana. Under the inspired direction of Rodney Wynkoop (conductor and artistic director of the CSD), choruses and orchestra were stellar and soloists Alissa Roca (soprano), Timothy W. Sparks (tenor), and Jason S. McKinney (bass-baritone) were sublime. It was absolutely one of the highlights of the DSO’s 2023-24 season!
Enjoy!
