  • Summary

  • In Episode 33 of The Classical Circuit, host Ella Lee talks to Jane Mitchell, Creative Director of the Aurora Orchestra (and also their Principal Flautist), about the ensemble’s fresh approach to performance. Jane talks about the evolution of the Aurora ‘orchestral theatre’ format, which involves the orchestra playing from memory, and their upcoming project 'Carnival', part of their 20th anniversary celebrations this year. She also reflects on their groundbreaking Beethoven 9 at the 2024 Proms, discusses the intention of 'revealing' all the music has to offer, and offers her insights into bringing musicians and management closer together.
