Aurora Orchestra in Bristol

Suzy Kley and Andrew McGregor present highlights from a concert given at St George's, Bristol by the Aurora Orchestra under Nicholas Collon. Including music by Strauss and Mozart.

A 大象传媒-led weekend of over 100 live music events across the UK - from Cornwall to the Shetland Isles and Belfast to Birmingham - launching the nationwide countdown to the London 2012 Festival.

Radio 3 celebrates live music-making all weekend, handing on the baton from concert to concert, featuring a wide range of professional and amateur events and talking to the people who've made it all happen. Presented by Andrew McGregor and Suzy Klein.

Energetic, inspiring and astonishing in equal measures, the Aurora Orchestra has built an enviable following in its relatively short life. As the Music Nation spotlight falls on Bristol the group takes to the stage at St George's with conductor Nicholas Collon for a concert contrasting dark-hued, impassioned sounds from Richard Strauss with Mozart at his brilliant best. Highlights from the concert, recorded earlier today.
