A Latin Codex of songs from the XIIIth century, discovered in a monastery from the Bavarian Alps in 1803, inspired Carl Orff in his most exuberant and strong stage cantata in the universal music. Dark or shining, unsettling or tender, selected in a number of 24 and captured in the Latin, German and French of the Middle Ages, the songs of Carmina Burana illustrate the spiritual unity of Europe, as well as the eternal character of human feelings.

The most beloved laic work of the XXth century, that which, once launched on the stage of the Frankfurt Opera in 1937, has conquered the show and concert stages in the entire world, opens, on 1st October 2016 (the International Music Day), the 2016-2017 musical season, in an unconventional location, transformed in an innovative, welcoming audition space: Astra Wagons Travellers, The Tram Factory on Victoria Avenue, no. 33-35.

Saturday evening is dedicated to everyone who loves classical music, novelty and spontaneity – an event brought to life by the coral assembly accompanied by the symphonic orchestra and by conductor Cristian Neagu, but also by a distribution which completes the poster of the popular XXth century creation – soprano Camelia Clavac, tenor Stefan von Korch and baritone Adrian Mărcan.
