Masterworks Chorus Spring Concert features Carl Orff's Carmina Burana
A Masterworks First
This multi-dimensional concert will be April 12 at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach at 4pm. Starting with the sound of pounding on an ancient drum, the suspension of disbelief begins on this monumental work by Carl Orff. O Fortuna, The Wheel of Fortune, ignites the flame for the opening scene of Carmina Burana. This great work will be accompanied by a 70-voice chorus, soloists, solo piano, massive drumbeats, and dancers. This is a performance for every age. Not one note is wasted but bursts with energy and fire. The music maintains a constant state of suspense and awe for the audience. It is worth seeing and a great way to introduce powerful classical musical to everyone. Masterworks will perform this version along with piano, soloists and a Percussion Ensemble from Florida Atlantic University. In addition, dance students from Benjamin School will perform. Support our Chorus with a Sponsorship and get an exclusive invitation to our VIP reception.
Masterworks Chorus is delighted to introduce our talented new Artistic Director
Please welcome Bryan Anthony Ijames, D.M.A.
Bryan comes with an extensive music and choral resume and is currently Assistant Professor of Music Education & Associate Director of Choral Activities at Bower School of Music - Florida Gulf Coast University. We look forward to our 47th season with such an accomplished leader at the helm. Stay tuned for a look at our planned performances as we lift the curtain on our next season.
Community Outreach
As our commitment to the community, we'll continue to participate in outreach projects like Collaborative Sing-alongs and Make Music Day. Look for even greater collaboration with other area choruses and musicians. Based on the success of this year's Make Music Day (40 performers at multiple venues across the County), June 21, 2026 will be the next Make Music Day with an even bigger set of entertaining events.
