Fate has always shaped life in Atlantic Canada.

It lives in the turning of the tides. In the risks taken by those who crossed open water toward an uncertain shore. In the quiet strength of people who endured hardship, loss, and isolation, yet found a way forward. These stories, passed down through generations, form the emotional backbone of our region.

O Fortuna is a powerful live performance that brings these stories to life through the combined force of symphony and choir, anchored by the iconic music of Carmina Burana. Known for its thunderous intensity and haunting beauty, this music captures the unpredictable nature of fate itself, at times harsh, at times tender, always in motion.

Through music and visual storytelling, audiences will be immersed in a journey through New Brunswick’s past. Stories of struggle and survival. Of separation and reunion. Of resilience in the face of forces beyond human control. Moments where everything hung in the balance, and where fate quietly, or suddenly, changed the course of a life.

Performed by the full Tutta Musica Orchestra and the voices of the Greater Moncton Chorale, this is more than a concert. It is a theatrical and emotional experience that connects the timeless power of orchestral and choral music with the lived history of our region.

O Fortuna invites you to witness how fate, music, and human endurance intertwine, and to discover how the echoes of the past still shape who we are today.

Powerful. Immersive. Unforgettable.
