Aurora Orchestra

Founded in 2005, Aurora Orchestra has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous ensembles on the international classical music scene. Renowned for its creative programming and the ability to bring a fresh perspective to a diverse range of music, the London-based chamber orchestra has earned critical acclaim for its vibrant and often theatrical live performances. Known for memorization of complex scores, Aurora Orchestra delivers performances that bridge the traditional and contemporary, often exploring the intersections between different art forms.

Under the artistic direction of conductor Nicholas Collon, the ensemble demonstrates an exceptional versatility in its musical selection, as evidenced by their recordings. Spanning from the ethereal "Music of the Spheres" to the haunting "A Walk with Ivor Gurney," their repertoire weaves through the nostalgic cadences of John Rutter's "Visions & Requiem," the pastoral charm of Gerald Finzi in "Introit," and into the avant-garde with Michael Gordon's "Gotham (Live)" and beyond. Equally comfortable in the realms of the sacred and the scientific, the Aurora Orchestra's releases, such as "This Is the Day: Music on Royal Occasions" and "Objects at an Exhibition," showcase their eclectic approach and unwavering commitment to exploring new sonic landscapes and pushing the boundaries of classical performance.
