Aurora Memory
My favourite Aurora memory so far would have to be our performances of Beethoven 7 at Printworks in November 2021. The layout, lighting, sound system and everything in between was so different to any concert I had ever done before; it was also great to see completely new audiences to introduce people to classical music, and it was amazing to have such a positive response from them.
