Mon 23 Mar, 7.30pm

The brilliant Aurora Orchestra bring another one of their extraordinary memorised performances: Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.

This masterpiece is paired with a rare opportunity to experience Birtwistle’s Cortege for 14 musicians, a virtuosic work in which musicians take turns to deliver a solo line from the centre of the ensemble, creating a kind of ritualised dance. Aurora then presents one of its distinctive memorised performances of a whole symphony with an electrifying interpretation of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.
