We will prepare and perform Carmina Burana, involving 35 adult singers and 80 youth singers, percussion ensemble and two pianists. We will perform Carmina Burana for an expected audience of 200 adults and youths. We will compile a roster of our participants. We will do an audience count and conduct an audience survey addressing audience demographics as well as response to the concert itself.
Chorus Polaris nearly doubled its usual ensemble with high calibre singers drawn by this opportunity to perform Carmina Burana with professional duo pianists, percussion ensemble and signature soloists. Carmina Burana has universal appeal; targeted outreach AND the appeal of a local award winning percussion ensemble from a local high school drew a capacity audience.
