Since 2010, Delia Stevens and Le Yu have made it their mission to redefine the art of percussion.
Winners of the prestigious Royal Overseas League Ensemble Award in 2012 and alumni of the Park Lane Group Young Artist Scheme, Aurora have since received invitations to perform at the Wigmore Hall, Beijing’s Forbidden City Concert Hall, The Bridgewater Hall, The Southbank Centre, as well as the Edinburgh Festival (broadcast live on BBC Radio 3) and the Lucerne Festival. The duo has sold out three tours of China, giving performances and masterclasses in some of the country’s most prestigious concert halls and conservatoires.
Described as ‘superb’ by the Financial Times and ‘extraordinary’ by Classical Source, Aurora Percussion Duo produce adrenaline-fuelled concert performances which are visually spectacular, physically demanding, and full of musical artistry. Aurora concert programmes span centuries, from Bach to the present day, on instruments ranging from the five-octave marimba to the humble egg shaker.
Aurora are constantly expanding the repertoire for percussion duo and continue to commission established and upcoming composers to write for them such as Graham Fitkin, Adam Gorb and Andy Scott. They also create their own arrangements of works by more familiar composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Piazzolla and Bach.
