Members Who Went Said:
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!
Diana P. Bronx, NY 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.
natalia echeverri Great seats! Amazing performance. A very nice night out. |

More Details About This Event: 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 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.
About Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center: Rose Theater is the result of a collaboration between Jazz at Lincoln Center, Artistic Director, Wynton Marsalis and the top international theater planners and engineers. Designed acoustically as the premier jazz performance hall in the world, Rose Theater utilizes ambitious design elements such as a retractable concert shell ceiling and a sophisticated acoustical curtain and banner system to help tailor the sound quality of the hall for individual performances. Rose Theater features eleven movable on-stage seating towers that allow for a variety of seating configurations. The towers can be linked in a gentle curve on stage to create a "Theater-in-the-Round", or they can be stored against the back wall making way for a traditional proscenium stage. For additional versatility, Rose Theater also features an orchestra pit on an adjustable lift that rises to two additional levels, either providing extra audience seating, or extending the stage itself. Able to accommodate live performances such as jazz concerts, opera, theater, symphonies and dance, Rose Theater is also ideal for a virtually endless variety of events, from performances to presentations, from film screenings to award ceremonies. The Rose Theater was also designed with the audience in mind; with three tiers; the furthest seat is no more than 90 feet from the stage. Each level features beautiful wood veneer boxes for seating that offers a special experience. The Theater is topped by attractive lit diamonds with adjustable colors to create a specific atmosphere or ambience. For receptions and seated dinners, catering is provided by Great Performances, one of New York's finest caterers and Frederick P. Rose Hall's exclusive catering partner. |
