  Braunschweig City Park
  Songs of happiness, wine, love and suffering will fill the Palacio de Bellas Artes with the famous concert cantata Carmina Burana on the repertoire. In 1934 Karl Orf found the book Carmina Burana published in 1847. It is an illuminated manuscript, a collection of over 1000 songs in Latin, German and medieval French. He selected 24 of them and shaped them in his music which radiates with simplicity and beauty. Orf put a ballet, symphonic orchestra, a large number of percussions, two pianos, two four-voice mixed choruses, children's chorus and soloists. It is extremely difficult to synchronise such a large number of people in the composition which lasts for more than an hour. For such work Srba Dinic has special inspiration – to present the famous 20th century German composer to Mexican audience and to convey pure emotions for which this piece has been recognized and loved by generations of music lovers all over the world.
