Celebrate 20 years of Aurora with a weekend of festivities at Snape Maltings.
Aurora traces its early days back to this place and so there is no better venue in which to mark the anniversary. Snape Maltings Concert Hall, where the proximity of the stage and the world-famous acoustic means that every seat is in a brilliant location, always leading to exciting, memorable experiences for audiences and performers alike.
Over this special weekend, we’ll be joined by star soloists for an epic Mahler symphony, present The Carnival of the Animals in a typically inventive and imaginative new way, and invite our youngest audiences to get hands-on with music through participatory sessions. Come and enjoy a weekend of the finest music-making presented in an authentic and unforgettable way.
