Aurora: Light and Motion

Aurora opens a tantalising weekend in signature collaborative style, joining forces with the BBC Singers, Britten Pears Chamber Choir and pianist Nicholas McCarthy for a programme ablaze with colour, rhythm and life.

Pianist Nicholas McCarthy takes centre stage in Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. Written for pianist Paul Wittgenstein – who lost his right arm during the First World War – the concerto creates the astonishing illusion of two hands at play, its virtuosity dazzling and its impact unforgettable.
