The Aurora Orchestra staged a Proms first last year when it performed Mozarts Symphony No. 40 from memory. Now the dynamic young ensemble returns to continue this seasons sequence of family-friendly matinees, giving Beethovens Pastoral Symphony the same direct, communicative treatment. It is paired with Australian composer Brett Deans own homage to nature a work, he explains, inspired by glorious birdsong, the threat that it faces, the loss, and the soulless noise that were left with when theyre all gone. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Francesco Piemontesi joins the orchestra for Mozarts late Coronation Concerto, and the afternoon also features the premiere of a new commission from British composer Anna Meredith also performed from memory. |
