.We return to Wiltshire Music Centre with a joyful programme that journeys from intimate nostalgia to blazing celebration, culminating in a memorised performance of Mozart’s mighty Jupiter Symphony.
Jessie Montgomery’s Strum is a shimmering, rhythmically-charged work that pulses with American folk spirit. Threads of melody interlace and build towards a euphoric release, driven by the infectious energy of pizzicato strings.
Then we perform Mozart’s final Symphony – his final, most sublime orchestral statement. “I’ve never seen an orchestra take so much ownership over a performance” was Bachtrack’s response to Aurora’s 2016 Proms performance of Mozart’s Jupiter from memory. There’s an infectious freedom and energy to Aurora’s performances once the music stands are removed, and Mozart’s greatest symphony is the perfect vehicle to transport that power.
