Daytona Beach on May 2 - a Bach Festival

Classical music lovers - mark your calendars for May 2, Saturday, at Peabody Auditorium, for the Bach Festival Choir, which will partner with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Daytona Beach International Festival. They will perform Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, one of the few classical 20th-century works embraced by popular culture. Stravinsky's Firebird Suite is also on the program.

The Bach Festival Choir and London Symphony first paired in July 2007 to perform Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 to critical acclaim. The Orlando Sentinel said of that performance: "Friday's first-rate performance showed the Winter Park choir was every bit the equal of the world-class London Symphony Orchestra."

During the year, the Festival Choir performs 5 major choral works, donating more than 26,000 hours of time. Bach Festival Society Artistic Director and Conductor John V. Sinclair will prepare the choir for this performance with the London Symphony Orchestra and says, "It is truly a pleasure to sing such great repertoire with one of the world's greatest orchestras. I am proud to be a part of this fantastic partnership." The choir and London Symphony will be under the baton of conductor Daniel Harding for this performance.

Broadway World comments, "Located in Daytona Beach, the Florida International Festival is the greatest achievement of the Central Florida Cultural Endeavors, presenting the biannual Festival to East Central Florida for over three decades. The highlight of each Festival season is the 10-day residency of the London Symphony Orchestra."

The Daytona Beach area offers entertainment and activities for every interest. It's a great place to live!
