Leah Stein Dance Company collaborated with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia to create a new interpretation of composer Carl Orff’s 1937 masterpiece Carmina Burana, an orchestral cantata originally based on 24 medieval poems. Choreographer Leah Stein and choral director Alan Harner re-imagined the musical work as a site-specific performance at Philadelphia’s Girard College Chapel. The new production fused improvisational dance with live music and featured a 130-member choir, four percussionists, two pianists, and seven dancers.
