British chamber group, Aurora Orchestra, have regularly appeared in family-themed BBC Proms concerts and are known for their love (and ability) of performing without music. This is quite a feat. It means their playing becomes more natural and flows better than those reading from musical scores.

It also means they are not afraid to think outside the box, sometimes playing in the dark, and often wearing theatrical costumes. They decided to get horny for the proms.

Amy Dickson sax soloist with Aurora Orchestra

For those lucky enough to get a ticket to see the Aurora Orchestra, concert-goers will have the honour of hearing the London premiere of James Macmillan’s much-anticipated Saxophone Concerto. Featuring acclaimed saxophonist-soloist, Amy Dickson, this piece should transport you to Scottish landscapes with its folky influences. 

Followed by Mozart’s melodious Piano Concerto No. 20 and Mendelssohn’s evocative Symphony No. 3, this should certainly fill the cavernous concert hall at Kings Place. You’ll leave Camden humming and with your head nodding.

With tickets selling fast, don’t linger.
