About this event
The Aurora Orchestra staged a Proms first last year when it performed Mozart鈥檚 Symphony No. 40 from memory. Now the dynamic young ensemble returns to continue this season鈥檚 sequence of family-friendly matinees, giving Beethoven鈥檚 鈥楶astoral鈥� Symphony the same direct, communicative treatment. It is paired with Australian composer Brett Dean鈥檚 own homage to nature 鈥� a work, he explains, inspired by 鈥榞lorious birdsong, the threat that it faces, the loss, and the soulless noise that we鈥檙e left with when they鈥檙e all gone鈥�. Former 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Francesco Piemontesi joins the orchestra for Mozart鈥檚 late 鈥楥oronation鈥� Concerto, and the afternoon also features the premiere of a new commission from British composer Anna Meredith 鈥� also performed from memory, by Aurora Orchestra and the 麻豆官网首页入口 Proms Youth Ensemble.
