SUMMARY:Akron Symphony Ends Season with a Burst of Orchestral and Vocal Pow
 er
DESCRIPTION:\nSat 5/9 @ 7:30PM\nThe Akron Symphony wraps up its 2025-26 sea
 son with eclat — the same vigorous burst of sound that used to wake me u
 p in the morning when I was in grade school. (My room abutted the kitchen 
 where my dad’s radio alarm blasted out local classical music station.) A
 h\, Carmina Burana! German composer Carl Orff based his 1937 cantata on se
 cular medieval songs addressing the joys and pitfalls of life. “O Fortun
 a\,” which introduces the opening and closing sections\, is familiar eve
 n to those who don’t listen to classical music\, one of those pieces tha
 t’s been extracted to use in many other contexts.\nWhen the Akron Sympho
 ny performs the piece to conclude its upcoming concert at E.J. Thomas Hall
  it will be joined by a 100-voice chorus and soloists including soprano So
 nya Headlam\, tenor Chris Albanese and baritone Brian Johnson. The program
  also includes another piece widely reused in pop music contexts: Maurice 
 Ravel’s 1928 Bolero. In between it will perform Cleveland composer Marga
 ret Brouwer’s 2009 Rhapsody Concerto for Orchestra\nGo here for tickets.
