Welcome to What's the Score?, a brand new podcast from Aurora Orchestra. As Aurora prepares for their 2025 summer Orchestral Theatre production of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, we take a deep-dive into what goes into creating an Orchestral Theatre performance. In this episode, we hear from Aurora's Creative Director Jane Mitchell about how Aurora's memorised performances first came about, the process of writing a script for Aurora's Orchestral Theatre shows and what to expect from this summer's production.
