Support Us
From making music together at school, to that thrilling live concert you’ll never forget: music can be life-changing. It’s changed all of our lives here at Aurora. For the past 20 years, it has guided every aspect of what we do. If you’re reading this, music has probably changed your life, too.
Here at Aurora, we want to be an open door to life-changing music. Music in concert halls, cathedrals, care homes, nightclubs and schools. Music for audiences old and young, passionate and curious. Music that is inventive, restless, full of stories. Music that is always welcoming, no matter who you are.
As a registered charity, we rely on donations, grants and gifts in wills to fund all aspects of our work. As our ambitions grow, this support is becoming even more vital. Support us today to become part of Aurora’s onward journey.

Orchestral music has powerful stories to tell. You’ll bring these stories to life by fuelling Aurora’s unique Orchestral Theatre method, enabling us to explore, innovate and collaborate across artistic disciplines.
Create extraordinary shared experiences
“The music reached me, touched my heart, included me”
– audience member, Beethoven 9
You’ll create live music experiences that are exhilarating, memorable and inclusive – for audiences young and old; for first-time listeners and lifelong fans; for the players of today and of the future.
Ignite a spark for the next generation
“There was genuine awe on display from our students.”

You’ll give more children their first experience of music, including through our Aurora Classroom creative learning platform, which we’ll make freely available to all primary, secondary and SEND schools.
