National music critics have been unanimous in their praise of the Aurora Orchestra and Nicholas Collon, one of the country’s most dynamic conductors, and bowled over by the startlingly good performances they so consistently deliver.

As part of Music Nation, a spectacular weekend of music around the UK to create excitement in the lead up to the finale of the Cultural Olympiad in 2012, Bristol is putting on its own musical celebrations and Aurora Orchestra is at its heart.

This new programme takes its inspiration from the vibrant lives of cities around the world, visiting Mozart’s thrilling Paris Symphony and finishing with dance music by Leonard Bernstein from the Broadway hit West Side Story – a dazzling score that evokes all the passions and restless energy of teenage gangs in 1950s New York.

Tickets for the 3.30pm concert on March 3 at the venue in Great George Street, priced £11-19, are available from the box office on 0845 4024001 or online at www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk

The Times has teamed up with St George’s to offer two lucky readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the concert.
