Aurora’s reputation for fearless eclecticism is built on a love of great music, irrespective of genre or period, and an enthusiasm for collaboration across artistic forms. Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon directs a uniquely versatile orchestra capable of fusions and contrasts that can inspire, shock, challenge and astonish.
With music ranging from Purcell to Mahler and Janácek ˇ to Lennon, the 2011 season also features a rich array of world-class guest artists: where else would you find one of the great conductors of our age, a legendary American horror writer, two of the UK’s finest tango dancers, and the world’s most celebrated choir rubbing shoulders in a single season?
Musical excellence is at the heart of every Aurora performance, founded on the artistry of a team of principal players comprising some of the outstanding soloists of their generation. Whether you’re attending our groundbreaking New Moves events at LSO St Luke’s, or one of this year’s five Mozart Unwrapped programmes at Kings Place, you’re guaranteed flair, virtuosity and passion.
