Opening up: Kings Place announces the start of its Autumn Season

Kings Place has announced the start of its Autumn season, which carefully mixes outdoor events, socially distanced indoor concerts and live-streamed events. Events include the Aurora Orchestra, conductor Nicholas Collon performing Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 from memory (7/9/2020), outdoors but undercover under the West Handyside Canopy at Kings Cross. It will be the orchestra's first performance since Lockdown, and a preview of their BBC Proms performance of the same symphony three days later.

A pair of taster weekends (18-20/9/2020, 2-4/10/2020) present a wide range of music from The Sixteen, I Fagiolini and Voces8, to the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, to Abel Selaocoe.

The Aurora Orchestra's Mozart's Piano returns with chamber versions of Mozart's last three piano concertos with Imogen Cooper, Louis Schwizgebel and Javier Perianes alongside new works by Electra Perivolaris, Sasha Scott, and Syliva Lim. Whilst the Brodsky Quartet will be surveying Beethoven's late string quartets.
