Summary
Sir James MacMillan conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and combined choruses in Orff’s Carmina Burana at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, featuring works by Perivolaris and MacMillan.
Why it's fantastic
You likely already know the thundering opening chords of the headline piece from countless film trailers and television adverts. Hearing this massive wall of sound delivered live by two full choirs is a physical experience, preceded here by a brand new Scottish premiere led by one of the country's most respected conductors.
