About

Aurora returns to Saffron Hall with a signature memorised and dramatised performance. This year, they unwrap Shostakovich's gripping Fifth Symphony.

Explore a symphony from the inside out. Nicholas Collon and Aurora Orchestra reflect this year's Shostakovich anniversary with a concert that takes the audience under the hood of a 20th-century masterpiece and into the mind of the man who made it. Actors join the players to bring to life a symphony born in the shadow of Stalin's regime – music on the edge of life and death by a composer treading a dangerous line between political obedience and artistic defiance.

Co-produced by Aurora Orchestra and the BBC Proms, developed in collaboration with Frantic Assembly.
