Mahler and the Mountain Adventure
See that mountain over there? We’re going to climb it – would you like to join us? Join Aurora players on a journey uphill.
Nothing’s going to stop us climbing that mountain: not even a misty fog or a mountain goat will stand in our way!
Featuring the music of Gustav and Alma Mahler in new chamber arrangements by Harry Baker and a brand-new story from Aurora’s Writer-in-Residence Kate Wakeling, this exciting adventure is the latest of Aurora Orchestra’s Early Years Far, Far Away adventures.
