Support Aurora
Your donation will:
Create unforgettable music
You’ll help us to explore bold ideas, take thrilling artistic risks and craft the most exciting projects in orchestral music.
Spark joy and surprise
You’ll enable us to share music with new audiences, by offering low-price tickets and popping up in unexpected places – like parks or nightclubs.
Inspire a young listener
You could give a child their first experience of live music at a schools’ concert, and help us bring music into every classroom through our UK-wide learning programme.

Give regularly – join the Aurora Friends
Regular donations help us to plan for the future. Aurora Friends support the orchestra with a monthly or annual donation, starting at just £5 per month. You’ll be joining a vibrant community at the heart of the orchestra, with opportunities to gain behind-the-scenes insights at open rehearsals, plus priority booking for our Southbank Centre series. To become an Aurora Friend, please click here and choose the ‘recurring gift’ option.
Become a Memory Champion
Have you been inspired by one of Aurora’s signature memorised performances? As a Memory Champion, you’ll make future memorised projects possible with an annual gift of £1,000. Your donation will support the cost of memorising fees for our players, helping to create some of the most intense and rewarding experiences of their musical careers – and delighting audiences in the concert hall and beyond. Make a donation here or contact Helen McKeown, Development Manager at helen@auroraorchestra.com for more information.
Become an Aurora Patron
Aurora’s programme would not be possible without the generous support of the Aurora Patrons. We enjoy working closely with individual Patrons to understand which areas of our work most inspire them, and crafting unique experiences to recognise their gift. Recent bespoke areas of support have included recordings, commissions, a specific concert programme or schools’ project, and core running costs. Patron packages start at £1,250. If you are interested in building a relationship with Aurora through becoming a Patron, please contact Helen McKeown, Development Manager on +44 (0) 20 7014 2816 or at helen@auroraorchestra.com.
“We continue to be impressed by consistently high standards of performance and innovative programming, but, above all, we support Aurora because their concerts make us smile.”
Richard & Helen Sheldon, Aurora Patrons
