It was a wonderful evening with a piece I knew very well (Carmina Burana) as well as the World Premier of Cadario's Cantata For Revival. The quality of all the performances, from the soloists, to the orchestra, to the chorus as well as even the conductor, was supurb. Such a rich, full sound for a relatively small group! The seats were also better than I expected. I love music and the arts very much but with my long days on the job, I don't make time to check out the numberous options available to me here in New York City. With Goldstar keeping me informed via email, I find it much easier to actually make plans and break from my work, home, work, home routine. The fact that the tickets are half price is simply the frosting on the cake!Written on May 24 2008

Great show! On par with all other performances of Carmina Burana I have seen over the years. We were pleasantly surprised with our seating selections... I blindly selected two seats was happy to find we had two balcony box seats looking over the full stage. We were very pleased.Written on May 22 2008

Description
Musica Sacra Chorus & Instrumental Ensemble
Kent Tritle, Conductor
Sacred and secular are brought together here in a concert that explores the drive and drama of both. Orff's Carmina Burana, with his accompaniment of two pianos and a huge battery of percussion, celebrates springtime, creation and amour in some of the most famous and arresting music ever written. And newly composed for this occasion, Cadario's Cantata for Revival, with its accompaniment of six cellos, harp and percussion, explores the colors and the calls from some of the Bible's most beloved passages.
About the Ticket Supplier: Musica Sacra
Musica Sacra was founded by Richard Westenburg at Central Presbyterian Church in 1964; it was the first all-professional, paid admission choral series ever undertaken by a church. By the early seventies, the popularity of its concerts caused it to become independent and move to larger venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. For many years, concerts were given at Lincoln Center, and it was there that Dr. Westenburg founded Musica Sacra's Basically Bach Festival, and led its main concerts from 1979-89. The Festival was reinstituted in March, 2006.
In addition, to its acknowledged affinity for Baroque music, Musica Sacra has performed in all styles, from the chant of Hildegard to commissioned works and first performances of leading contemporary composers, such as Diamond, Britten, Khatchaturian, Convery and Rorem. They have recorded on RCA, BMG and Deutsche Grammophon music ranging from Handel (the first complete all-digital Messiah, in 1981, and still available), to Schoenberg, Bruckner and Meredith Monk.
