Schools Spectacular, 2016

Carl Orff composed his epic cantata CARMINA BURANA in 1935-36. Today's Beautiful Music features a huge gathering of students in New South Wales called SCHOOLS SPECTACULAR performing O FORTUNA from CARMINA BURANA. The 2016 performance includes an arena full of young singers with dramatic choreography.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
