The Labyrinth event invites the public to walk the labyrinth path, a design built into the floor of Notre Dame de Chartres c. 1200. The practice was a pious devotion of the time, and is done today to aid in meditation, relaxation, and spirituality. Take some time to de-stress and walk the labyrinth. There is no charge and the public is welcome.

Experience "Carmina Burana," the thrilling 20th-century musical juggernaut by Carl Orff, when the Choral Society of Pensacola presents two performances, one on Friday, March 8 at 7:30 pm, one on Saturday, March 9 at 2:00 pm, both in the University of West Florida Center for Fine and Performing Arts.

For this epic work, conductor Peter Steenblik, who serves as the Society’s artistic director and as the director of choral activities at the University of West Florida, has combined singers from the Society and UWF to create an impressive chorus of 160 voices. Soprano Sheila Dunn, tenor Christian Sanders, and baritone Jack Chandler will sing the challenging solos, pianists Hyunjoo Kim and Meredith Stemen will perform on two nine-foot Steinways, and six percussionists, under the leadership of Matt Greenwood, will employ a huge battery of instruments to round out the forces for the most spectacular concert of the Society’s season.

The text of Orff’s masterpiece is selected from about two dozen poems included in a medieval collection labeled Carmina Burana (Songs of Beuren) after its discovery in the Bavarian monastery of Benediktbeuern. The powerful opening, “O Fortuna” (O Fortune), is likely to be familiar to most people through its use in dozens of films, television programs, and commercials. The songs that follow that outcry against the caprices of Fortune express a wide range of moods as they explore the delights of spring, the joys and sorrows of love, and the sensual pleasures of bed and bottle. Although the performance will be in Latin and Middle High German, projected English supertitles will ensure that the audience understands every word.

"Carmina Burana" is presented in association with the University of West Florida's Dr. Grier Williams School of Music.

The University of West Florida Department of Theatre presents an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s "Macbeth" entitled “Macbeth: Sands of Fate” adapted by Ashley McGlothren. Performances will be held February 16 - 18 and February 23 - 25 with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. All performances will take place in the Besser Studio Theatre of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola campus.


In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by environmental disasters and societal collapse, Macbeth: Sands of Fate reimagines Shakespeare's classic tragedy within a barren wasteland covered in shifting sands. This desolate setting, reminiscent of a once-thriving civilization now reduced to ruins, adds a new layer of symbolism to the tale of power, ambition, and moral decay.


“The stage is transformed into a stark landscape, giving the feeling of a land full of towering sand dunes, remnants of crumbling structures, and a constant haze,” said Ashley McGlothren, adaptor and director of the production.” The aesthetic is a fusion of dystopian and medieval, where remnants of technology coexist with makeshift medieval-style costumes and weaponry.”


Due to the seating configuration, tickets are extremely limited and latecomers will not be admitted. General admission ticket prices are $20 per person for adults, $16 per person for senior citizens and active military, $14 per person for non-UWF students and UWF faculty and staff, and $7 for high school students. UWF students are admitted free with their Nautilus cards.
