Utah Symphony: Orff's 'Carmina Burana'

**\*\*RSVPs for this event will close on Friday, March 27!! More info below.\*\*** Our own [Utah Symphony](https://utahsymphony.org/) plays "Carmina Burana" by the early 20th century German composer Carl Orff. This is Orff's best-known work, featuring the iconic cantata "O Fortuna." Utah Symphony's website praises Carmina Burana's "massive orchestral forces and exhilarating chorus.... this cantata celebrates the wheel of fortune in all its glorious ups and downs.... it's going to blow you away." Also on the evening's program: Claude Debussy’s "Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune" and Iman Habibi's "Zhian." You can read more about the program [here](https://utahsymphony.org/event/id/36113/). The performance starts at 7:30 pm. We will reserve seats together in the orchestra section - tickets are $64 ($59 + $5 service fee). If we have a minimum of 10 people in our group, we can avail ourselves of the 20% group discount and waiver of the service fee - so tickets would be $48 each. So that we can sit together as a group, I will collect money in advance from each attendee (via Venmo, PayPal or other arrangement). \*\****Please only RSVP for this event if you're certain you can attend and are ready to send payment for your ticket purchase!***\*\* I will contact the group to arrange the payments. Please also note that good seats for these performances tend to sell early, especially for a group of seats together, so I plan to buy the group’s tickets around March 28. Please RSVP no later than Friday, March 27 (earlier is better!). We can also gather for optional pre-performance drinks & tapas at 5:15 pm nearby [Mar Muntanya](https://www.mar-muntanya.com/#), an upscale restaurant on the rooftop of the Hyatt Regency hotel (170 S. West Temple) featuring cuisine of northern Spain. If you're not joining us for food/drink before the symphony, please meet the group at 7:10 pm in front of the main entrance to Abravanel Hall. Hope you can join us for this fun and elegant evening!
