Default Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra salutes the Flames

Not sure if this has been posted already, so apologies in advance if this is a duplicate.

During Saturday's CPO performance of Carmina Burana, the choir had some fun by changing the words to the famous "O Fortuna" movement to celebrate the Flames' victory. The video is pretty poor quality, but you can read the new words in blue text in the middle of the screen.

Whoever was responsible for the second flag on the left balcony fails. But this video is awesome! And the Flames are onto round 2, so who cares!!! =)

My colleague Mireille Asselin sang the soprano solos last night and she said it was tremendous; this is ####ing brilliant! Congrats on the CPO Chorus and the CPO for incorporating it.

Why is it white people can clap on 2 & 4 for a freaking orchestra, but always go 1 & 3 at rock concerts, or worse, blues shows?

Awesome!
And I'd completley offside if I didn't take the opportunity to include the Andre Rieu gif....since it was a clip from him finishing "O Fortuna"

Here's the GIF, then the Youtube full clip

I was hoping it was going to be a cover of In Da Dome.

This is awesome! I know there's lots of media and Flames folks on here, but we HAVE to get the CPO to do a simulcast of this, or have them live at the Saddledome before game three against the Ducks. Make it so!

^Obviously not you, being cheap and all.

I've been going to CPO for over 20 years. They have never been better than they are now. They got much younger in recent years and now play with some actual passion and "jam."
