Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

Carmina Burana remains one of the most popular and dramatic masterpieces in orchestral repertoire. Conducted by Jean-Marie Zeitouni, this towering work based on a medieval collection of poems is a must-see. Ravel’s delicate orchestration in his Suite from Daphnis et Chloé, based on a Greek novel of the same name, is a lush musical adventure full of Impressionist colour. Finally, hear an exciting new ESO commission by leading Canadian composer Julien Bilodeau.

Carmina Burana

Winspear Centre

Lights … camera … rock! From the 1950s to recent hit films like Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born, rock music has found a permanent place on the silver screen. Singers Julie Reiber (star of Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill) and Bryce Ryness (star of Broadway’s revival of Hair) rock on with the orchestra as we roll out a collection of classics that have powered big-screen soundtracks for decades. From the orchestra’s thrilling sonority to timeless power ballads, expect to hear favorites from films like Rocketman, Top Gun Maverick, Grease, Tommy, Back to the Future, Rock of Ages, Elvis, Yesterday, and more.
