Over 100 singers, a large symphony orchestra and the impressive backdrop of the Jakubzburg in Mortka promise an unforgettable experience for young and old.  
Since its successful premiere in 1937, Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" has become one of the most successful pieces of the 20th century developed. Everyone probably knows at least the famous opening chorus "O fortuna", which can definitely be described as part of pop culture. The composer made a big hit with the cycle, and the 24 settings of medieval texts continue to delight audiences to this day.
The rousing rhythm, the dazzling instrumentation and the archaic sound have lost none of their impact to this day, the tonal language of the work seems timeless. Orff skilfully finds a middle ground between tradition and modernity, the moment of shock for the audience almost 80 years ago can still be guessed at.
Selected works by Sorbian composers will be heard beforehand. Jurij Pilk's overture from the musical comedy "Smjertnica" (engl.: The Goddess of Death) is one of the most frequently performed pieces in Sorbian music literature and can be heard in the opening act, as does the overture from "Serbski kwas" by Korla Awgust Kocor, who is 200 years old this year would have grown old. The audience can also look forward to Kurt Karnauke's "Danse phantastique", from which No. 1 and No. 4, and Jan Paul Nagel's dances for string orchestra "Borkowska", "Łazowska" and "Šunowska".

Über 100 Sängerinnen und Sänger, ein großes Sinfonieorchester sowie die beeindruckende Kulisse der Jakubzburg in Mortka versprechen ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für Jung und Alt.  
Carl Orff´s „Carmina Burana“ hat sich seit seiner gelungenen Uraufführung 1937 zu einem der erfolgreichsten Stücke des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt. Wahrscheinlich kennt jeder wenigstens den berühmten Eröffnungschor „O fortuna“, den man durchaus als Teil der Popkultur bezeichnen kann. Dem Komponisten ist mit dem Zyklus der große Wurf gelungen, die 24 Vertonungen mittelalterlicher Texte begeistern bis heute das Publikum.
Die mitreißende Rhythmik, die schillernde Instrumentierung sowie der archaische Klang haben bis heute nichts an Wirkung verloren, die Tonsprache des Werkes scheint zeitlos. Geschickt findet Orff einen Mittelweg zwischen Tradition und Moderne, den Schockmoment für das Publikum vor knapp 80 Jahren kann man noch erahnen.
Zuvor erklingen ausgelesene Werke sorbischer Komponisten. Jurij Pilks Ouvertüre aus dem Singspiel „Smjertnica“ (dt.: Die Todesgöttin) gehört zu den am häufigsten gespielten Stücken der sorbischer Musikliteratur und erklingt im Vorprogramm ebenso wie die Ouvertüre aus „Serbski kwas“ von Korla Awgust Kocor, welcher in diesem Jahr 200 Jahre alt geworden wäre. Außerdem darf sich das Publikum auf Kurt Karnaukes „Danse phantastique”, daraus Nr. 1 und Nr. 4, und Jan Paul Nagels Tänze für Streichorchester “Borkowska”, “Łazowska” und “Šunowska” freuen.
