Aurora

Attractive and professional flute & harp entertainment

Formed in 1998 when the two girls were studying at Trinity College of Music, London, The Aurora Duo received coaching from renowned soloists Sioned Williams and Nona Liddell and have become one of the most popular duo artists working in the south. During their student years they won numerous competitions including the UK Harp Association Prize, the Trinity College of Music Gold Medal and the Croydon Music Festival Concerto Prize. This led to performances of the Mozart Flute and Harp Concerto with Trinity Chamber Orchestra at the Royal Naval Chapel in Greenwich and the Jubilee Prom concert in Birmingham.

They regularly perform recitals around the country in venues such as St Martin-in-the-Fields, Southwark Cathedral, Culzean Castle and Glamis Castle. As orchestral players they have played with many renowned orchestras including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Scottish Sinfonia performing at the Royal Festival Hall, the Barbican Centre and St Johns, Smith Square. CD recordings and radio performances are also part of their busy professional schedule.

In addition to their duo and orchestral experience, The Aurora Duo performs an extensive repertoire of light jazz, popular and classical musical at hotels, weddings and functions such as The Ritz, the Mandarin Oriental, the Langham Hilton and the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh.
