Aurora Orchestra has recently been awarded an extension of its prestigious Leverhulme Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music for 2008. The orchestra will continue to act as an ensemble-in-residence at the Academy, working alongside current students in various areas of performance.

The focus of Aurora's activities will be its concert series Aurora @ RAM; future performances will take place in the Duke's Hall on January 7th, March 25th and June 8th 2008. To find out more, please go to Aurora @ RAM.

Alongside the concert series, Aurora will be working with post-graduate conducting students in masterclasses designed to give an opportunity to work on challenging repertoire with a professional ensemble and with composition students in repertoire workshops.
