Aurora Orchestra |
Aurora Orchestra returns to live performance at Kings Place with a special series of intimate chamber concerts. Join us in Hall One or watch the performance live online, and celebrate Aurora’s long-awaited return to live music.
Five years ago, Aurora embarked on Mozart’s Piano, the first complete performance cycle of Mozart’s piano concertos ever staged in the UK. This monumental cycle was set to culminate in 2020, with performances of Mozart’s final concertos at Kings Place throughout the year. Circumstances have changed, but Aurora’s Mozart’s Piano journey continues in this special chamber series, with three concerts featuring the concertos in reduced versions, alongside major chamber works and a series of new commissions.
In this concert, internationally-renowned pianist Imogen Cooper joins Principal Players of Aurora for an arrangement of Mozart’s radiant Piano Concerto No. 25, paired with Schubert’s much-loved ‘Trout’ Quintet. Completing the programme is a new commission from Electra Perivolaris, hailed by James Macmillan as “One of the most exciting young composers emerging in Scotland today.”
