Description was written before the event

Carl Orff's monumental cantata Carmina Burana will be performed by the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno under the baton of chief conductor Dennis Russell Davies at the closing of the 27th edition of the Špilberk open-air festival.

About the venue: Besední dům

The Neo-Renaissance building on Komenského náměstí was built in 1870-1873 to designs by the Danish-Austrian architect Theophil von Hansen. From its opening it served as the cultural and social hub of Brno's Czech community - Leoš Janáček worked here as choirmaster for twelve years. On 29 October 1918 the founding of Czechoslovakia was proclaimed from its balcony. Today it is home to Filharmonie Brno and hosts symphonic and chamber concerts, balls and conferences.
