Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony from memory at the BBC Proms // Aurora Orchestra

“Marvellous… Playing from memory, Aurora created an organic sense of community, dynamism and inspiration.” The New York Times Revisit an exhilarating performance from the 2015 BBC Proms. Aurora performs Beethoven’s irresistible ode to nature, the Pastoral Symphony, entirely from memory — the direct, communicative performance style which has since become a hallmark of Aurora’s Proms appearances and has inspired other experiments in memorised performance across the globe.
