Under the direction of Barry Kolman, Scott Williamson, Gordon Spice and William McCorkle, the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra, the University Chorus, the University Chamber Singers and the Rockbridge Choral Society join forces to present Carmina Burana, Carl Orff's glorious masterpiece for chorus and orchestra.
