Memory Champions
With an annual gift of £1,000 (or £83.33 per month), Memory Champions play a vital role in supporting some of our most exciting artistic output, helping us to unlock new creative, educational and theatrical possibilities. In return, you’ll gain unique opportunities to get closer to the orchestra with invites to memorised rehearsals and other special events, plus all of the Aurora Friends’ benefits.
“For so many of us in the orchestra, memorising symphonic works has reaffirmed why it is that we are musicians and has shown us what it means to truly share music with others.”
Jane Mitchell, Creative Director and Principal Flute
