A blazing celebration on a cosmic scale.

Take a trip through this uplifting programme, ending with a high-energy performance of Mozart’s mighty Jupiter Symphony.

Aurora Orchestra has been a pioneering force in the orchestral world for two decades. Experience the electrifying thrill of one of its signature performances from memory as the orchestra presents Mozart’s final symphony by heart, without printed scores or music stands.

In the first half of the concert, Aurora’s Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon directs Jessie Montgomery’s Strum, a tapestry of string textures fizzing with rhythmic vitality. And the orchestra welcomes Benjamin Grosvenor as soloist in Beethoven’s first piano concerto, brimming with virtuosity and lyricism.
