Under its Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon, Aurora Orchestra has grown since its first concert in 2005 into an established name on the UK and international orchestral scene. Aurora is the pioneer for memorised orchestral performance: it is the first orchestra worldwide to break down physical barriers to music by removing sheet music and stands for large-scale works. Beginning with Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ Symphony in 2014, Aurora has since performed many orchestral works in this way, including Beethoven Symphonies Nos 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique and Stravinsky’s The Firebird and The Rite of Spring, as well as commissions by Max Richter and Héloïse Werner.
Over recent years, these memorised performances have developed into cross-genre dramatic and musical explorations that reach deeper under the skin of the music, devised by Aurora’s Creative Director Jane Mitchell. Aurora has collaborated with an exceptional range of artists across different artistic disciplines.
Aurora inspires audiences of all ages and backgrounds to develop a passion for orchestral music. Through an award-winning Creative Learning programme, Aurora regularly offers workshops and storytelling concerts for families, schools and young people, including children with special educational needs and disabilities. In 2022, Aurora launched Aurora Classroom, a free, pioneering online learning platform for primary schools, which includes a feature film for young children, a wide range of resources to help teachers deliver music activities in the classroom, and bespoke activities for SEND settings.
