Vernacular is a celebration of ordinary people throughout time, and telling stories in the languages they were originally written in. From lost love on the seas to the solitude of a mountain range, this music expresses the connections of the human experience. From Ireland to Finland, these folk songs encompass the past 800 years.
A diverse ensemble, Aurora performs a range of repertoire from folk to classical to contemporary, under the direction of their conductor Christie Anderson.
“Beautiful, moving, simply stunning... skill, agility, and power.” – Felix Preval
“This group is extraordinary... Aurora is a rare beast – a group that everyone should hear.” – Timothy Wayne-Wright
Folk songs are a form of passing stories on, and Aurora is honoured to pass these onto you.
