One of the most innovative and boundary-breaking ensembles in classical music, Aurora Orchestra are known for creating musical experiences beyond the ordinary. In this hotly-anticipated performance by the Kings’ Place resident ensemble and Southbank Resident Orchestra, they’re joined by leading violinist, Chloë Hanslip, for Prokofiev’s lyrical and expressive Violin Concerto No 2, alongside Mendelssohn’s much-loved “Italian” Symphony- all performed from memory.

Watch Aurora Orchestra perform

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. 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.
