The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra presents its next masterworks series program on Thursday and Friday, April 24th and 25th at 7:30pm. As usual, the performances will be given in the magnificent Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville. On the program is Fate Now Conquers by Carlos Simon, Samuel Barber's Symphony No. 1 in One Movement, and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. Joining the symphony for the performance will be the Knoxville Choral Society and the Knoxville Symphony Youth Choir, along with soloists, Ashley Fabian, Brian Giebler, and Alex Desocio.
Learn more about what these three pieces have in common in this interview with conductor, Aram Demirjian, who also shares anecdotes about his earliest memories of performing Carmina Burana, what his favorite movement is, and "nuggets of wisdom" from legendary conductor, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos.
