Event Details
From Aurora Orchestra comes a carefully crafted series of works inhabiting the hazy realm between sleep and waking.
Aurora conjures the restless fever dreams and chimeras of the small hours, calling forth Vivaldi’s ethereal ‘La Notte’, Benjamin Britten’s arcing Nocturne and even a haunting rendition of The Beatles’ ‘Blackbird’. Exquisitely designed, evocatively lit and masterfully arranged, Insomnia draws you into a realm where spirits flicker amongst the darkness and the forgotten drifts just below the surface.
Atmospheric and immersive, and featuring the masterful vocals of tenor Allan Clayton, this is Aurora Orchestra doing what they do best – bringing brilliant new interpretations to well loved pieces, fashioning them into works totally and unequivocally their own.
Featured non-Australian music: Gurney/Farrington, Couperin/Ades, Lennon/McCartney, Ligeti, Vivaldi, Britten
