Nyack High School Music Deparment's "Carmina Burana" Project

This project was conceived by my colleague Drucilla Pluhowski (Nyack High School Vocal Director) and myself last September inspired by the New York Philharmonic joined by Ofeón Pamplonés from Spain and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus programming Carmina Burana  on May 31st.  We decided that we would give our students the fullest experience in learning and understanding this work by taking all of the vocal and instrumental students to Lincoln Center for the entire day.  Students watched the Philharmonic Dress Rehearsal in the morning, attended a lecture and Q & A in the afternoon and then heard the evening performance.  It was an incredible experience for everyone involved!
