Singing Carmina Burana in Beijing

IN 1803 a collection of 13th century stories, poems and songs, known as the Carmina Burana, was discovered in a Bavarian monastery. The celebrated German composer Carl Orff selected various pieces from it, and transformed them into his greatest work. On March 4 this year, Hamburg's well-known Christianeum High School Choir enthralled young Beijing musicians with their performance of this classical music.
