Saffron Hall and BBC Proms audiences know it, as do an increasing number of audiences in Europe’s great concert halls: Aurora’s performances from memory are simply the best way of getting deeper inside the music.

Music stands are banished and the orchestra communicate more intensely with each other and the audience.  Their imaginative, dramatized explorations of the music give us context, a ‘living programme note’ with signposts for the musical journey ahead.  Whether you’re a regular concert goer or new to classical music, this is a concert hall experience like no other.  Full details of the music to be performed will be released in April 2026.
