Aurora Orchestra: Stravinsky's Firebird by Heart
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]★★★★★
‘nothing short of spellbinding’
The Times
Get under the skin of Stravinsky’s The Firebird as it's deconstructed and reassembled by Aurora Orchestra, presenter Tom Service, and conductor Nicholas Collon.
Aurora takes a deep dive into the Russian fairy tales and folk melodies of Stravinsky’s magical Firebird Suite, one of the great ballet scores of the 20th Century.
How does Stravinsky create a feeling of unease for the antagonist? What does the incandescent flight of the Firebird in the night sky sound like? And how does he build up the terror of the infernal dance, part by part?
Find out in an Orchestral Theatre presentation, as Aurora engages with the story and bold modernism of The Firebird in its typical revelatory way. And then expect blazing virtuosity and thrilling communication as Aurora performs the whole electrifying work in signature memorised style.
Outi Tarkiainen’s earth-shattering The Ring of Fire and Love takes its dramatic inspiration from natural phenomenons: a solar eclipse, a volcanic belt, and the birth of a baby.

Outi Tarkiainen: The Ring of fire and love
Ravel: Piano Concerto in G
Interval
Introduction: Stravinsky's Firebird with Aurora's Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon and BBC Radio 3 presenter Tom Service
Stravinsky: The Firebird, Suite (1945) (performed from memory)
