Aurora Orchestra: New Moves Klezmahler Programme to include: Mahler (arr Iain Farrington) Symphony No 1 plus Klezmer with special guests She’Koyokh Nicholas Collon conductor She’Koyokh klezmer ensemble Aurora Orchestra By turns elegiac, sorrowful and celebratory, the astonishingly rich tradition of European Jewish folk music might have been lost completely as a result of the Holocaust, but survived and came to flourish anew in the Jewish diaspora. This project pairs the sounds of klezmer with the first symphonic creation of Gustav Mahler, whose own fascination with traditional folk music is vividly evident in this work. Iain Farrington’s new chamber orchestra arrangement of the symphony follows in the footsteps of Schoenberg’s Mahler reductions of the 1920s, bringing intimacy and piercing clarity whilst stretching players to the furthest limits of virtuosity. With special guests She’Koyokh, recently hailed as ‘Britain’s best klezmer and Balkan music band’ (Songlines). Tickets £12 £18 £25 (20% student discount)

Aurora’s New Moves series is supported by Arts Council England and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation. Promoted by Aurora Orchestra in association with LSO St Luke’s
