(EWING, NJ) -- A packed house witnessed a breathtaking performance of Carmina Burana as Roxey Ballet Company and Princeton Pro Musica took the stage for an unforgettable evening of music, dance, and visual artistry on March 30, 2025. The performance, which played to a sold-out audience The College of New Jersey's Kendall Main Stage Theater, concluded with over a handful of curtain calls, a testament to the audience’s enthusiasm and admiration.

Under the masterful baton of Ryan James Brandau, the orchestra delivered a commanding and nuanced interpretation of Carl Orff’s iconic score. Brandau’s conducting was nothing short of exceptional, bringing out both the grandeur and subtlety of the music. Mark Roxey’s choreography was spellbinding, weaving passion and precision into a visually stunning narrative that left the audience in awe.

The TCNJ Choir added a beautiful and powerful vocal presence, blending seamlessly with the orchestra and dancers to create a rich, immersive experience. The video projections and staging were equally outstanding, transporting the audience into a world of vivid imagery and deep emotion.
