Quarry Amphitheater: Carmina Burana

Quarry Amphitheater in the sunlight with trees all around
June 5 @ 7:30 pm9:30 pm PDT

Yes, you have heard this music before. At least the O Fortuna movement! Movies, commercials, and social media have used it over and over again to add drama. Now experience the drama bounce off old quarry walls underneath a redwood canopy. Can it get any more dramatic?

The Quarry Amphitheater was carved from a former limestone quarry in the 1960’s. The unique terraced asymmetrical design allows for amazing sightlines as you get mezmorized with towering redwoods all around you. You won’t want to miss seeing I Cantori di Carmel perform with an orchestra and chorus at this venue!  

Locals Love: The unique venue.
First Timers Miss: Bringing a blanket or towel to keep comfortable in a redwood micro-climate.
Insights: The Quarry Amphitheater is inside UCSC, so parking fees and lot usage are unpredictable. There are public e-bike stations on campus and throughout Santa Cruz and Capitola. Watch to see if a rally bus is available for the event.
