Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra Celebrating 50 Years with a Special Concert

For 50 years the Keweenaw symphony orchestra has brought beautiful music to the Copper Country. The group of ever changing MTU students and musical residents is the oldest orchestra in the Upper Peninsula and is one of five in the upper great lakes. This weekend the symphony will be heard all around, in the home of the Rozsa Center.

Carmina Burana is probably the most popular choral, orchestral work in classical music. Its shown up in countless movies and commercials. When people hear the music they instantly recognize it. Carmina Burana was played by the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra to launch the Rozsa Center back in 2000. It’s a very rousing, disobedient, bombastic piece, but the crowd really eats it up. – Joel Neves, Music Director for Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra

Carmina Burana is loud, rowdy and loads of fun. The concert is preformed alongside the Michigan Tech concert choir and chamber singers. The show includes over 20 satirical poems set to music. The show on Saturday starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are 19 dollars for adults and 6 for kids.
