Join the Great Sing-along Concert

Programme

  • Carl Orff Carmina burana

Join us for the 7th Great Sing Along Concert!

At the past Great Singing Concert, a great cheer went up at the announcement of the program for the Great Singing Concert 2025: Orff's Carmina Burana.

A medieval manuscript full of poetry, songs and verses was the basis for Carl Orff's world-famous Carmina Burana. The result is a theatrical and breathtaking spectacle with as its central theme the fate with which man must live. The overwhelming opening chorus "O Fortuna" has become a real hit that has even made its way into pop music.

7th Grand Sing Along Concert 2025:

Sunday, February 2, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. in TivoliVredenburg

We cordially invite you to take part in the Groot Meezingconcert around Orff's Carmina Burana. On Sunday, February 2, the Groot Omroepkoor will organize the seventh edition of the Groot Meezingconcert in the beautiful main hall of TivoliVredenburg.
The Groot Meezingconcert will once again be conducted by the former chief conductor of the Groot Omroepkoor, Martin Wright.

The accompaniment is entrusted to pianists Ben Martin Weijand (GOK) and Pauline Post and the percussionists of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

We are proud that the bass, tenor and soprano solos are performed by members of the Great Broadcasting Choir.
