The ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge presents Carmina Burana: An epic springtime celebration on May 3, 2025.

Ancient. Powerful. Epic. Experience it all together, only at The ACT.

Inspired by a long-buried Medieval manuscript revealing an 11th-century trove of texts on love, lust, and the ‘free life’ espoused by Europe’s boisterous roaming Goliards, 20th-century composer Carl Off created an epic musical masterpiece.

Carmina Burana (translates from “Songs of Beuern”, from the Bavarian Monastery where the manuscript was discovered) creates a world unto itself.

This performance unites Ballet Victoria’s brilliant choreography, the Vancouver Bach Choirs’ over 100 powerful voices, and a thunderous percussion orchestra of multiple instruments, including dual grand pianos, in a once-in-a-lifetime exuberant burst of springtime. Experience the truly epic.
