Get under the skin of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 with Aurora Orchestra, who return to the Norfolk & Norwich Festival for the first time in seven years. 

No symphony pulses more vigorously with the rhythms of political protest than Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’, whose defiant opening chords mark the arrival of the Romantic symphony.  

Aurora Orchestra is known for its signature creative ethos, combining world-class performance with trailblazing presentation and programming. In 2014, they became the first professional orchestra in the modern era to perform a symphony entirely from memory, in which they performed Mozart’s 40th Symphony at the BBC Proms. They’ve collaborated widely across art forms and musical genres, working with an exceptional breadth of artists, ranging from Sarah Connolly, Ian Bostridge and Leonidas Kavakos to Wayne McGregor, Edmund de Waal and Björk.   

 

‘Their Beethoven was full of fizz, energy and infectious spirit, one of the most vivid live performances of this symphony I have experienced… it was so much more than a memory test for the sake of it – this was truly live in every sense.’ – Bachtrack

‘Playing Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony without the score is no mean feat, but Aurora Orchestra pulled it off’ – Evening Standard

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
