‘Carmina Burana’ is a choral work composed by Carl Orff, in the early part of the 20th century, based on 24 medieval poems from the collection of the same name. This gorgeous music has been used in films, television commercials, in dances and simply as a choral presentation. Why has Tenby Schools taken this rather ornate and complex piece to showcase?  In the interview, the conductor, pianist and student performer tell about the importance of music in education and life.
