Carmina Burana is a powerful cantata composed by Carl Orff in 1935-36 based on a collection of twenty-four medieval poems. Recurring themes from Carmina Burana, such as the “O Fortuna,” have appeared in hundreds of films and television commercials. This recognizable piece continues to be a popular crowd pleasing experience for audience and musicians alike.

There is nothing quite like the power of more than three hundred student musicians collaborating on a single concert. The University of Georgia Symphony Orchestra is joined by the UGA Hodgson Singers, Treble Choir, University Chorus, UGA Glee Club, as well as talented student and faculty soloists. This concert has sold out the past two years, so be sure to get your tickets to this special concert now.

Tickets go on sale Monday, July 21, 2025.
