AURORA CHAMBER SOLOISTS
Aurora Chamber Soloists is Sweden�s newest international Chamber Orchestra which was launched out of Aurora Music�s multi-annual festivals in V�stra G�taland in western Sweden. Along with many performances in the Aurora Chamber Soloists home region, the orchestra also performs regularly in Stockholm with many performances to come in important national and international festivals and halls.
The Aurora Chamber Soloistsis a carefully selected group of 15 international musicians, visionary leaders, leading soloists and accomplished actors that stem from Aurora Music�s global network spanning over 13 years and more than 46 festivals.
The musicians of the Aurora Chamber Soloists have a long history of intensive collaborations and support from legends in the string orchestra field like Terje T�nnesen and Gordan Nikolic who continue to bring their unique artistic leadership to the group and its performances.
The orchestras programs and performances challenge common boundaries in classical music, pushing instead for exciting collaborations with actors, soloists and composers in the search for an endless stream of creativity and the passion to capture the imaginations of both loyal fans and new audiences.
In only its first years the Aurora Chamber Soloists has stormed into Sweden�s leading traditional and non-traditional concert halls with celebrated performances together with international musical stars like
Mischa Maisky, Viktoria Mullova, Camilla Tilling, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Truls M�rk, Isabelle van Keulen, Torleif Thed�en, Jukka- Pekka Saraste.
These productions have been characterised by the Aurora Chamber Soloists creative work with actors such as Stina Eklbad, Stefan Sauk, Reine Brynolfsson, Elin Klinga and Magnus Roosmann, and Samuel Fr�ler and presenters such as Camilla Lundberg and Ulrika Knutson resulting in artistic creations that have been enthusiastically received by both public and media.
The Aurora Chamber Soloists is made possible thanks to special collaborative support from the V�stra G�taland region and several of its municipalities V�nersborg and Trollh�ttan together with many generous foundations and private donors.

There are also concerts in unusual venues, like the Canalettes caves at Corneilla-de-Conflent. The musicians perform great masterpieces of chamber music, from Bach to Mozart through Schubert, but also less well-known classic or contemporary repertoires.
