Aurora Orchestra to host immersive

concert at Printworks London

Once the largest printing factory in western Europe, Printworks is now one of UK's
leading electronic music venues

The Aurora Orchestra will host an immersive fully-memorised performance of
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 at Printworks, as part of its newly announced
collaborations with the electronic music venue.

The orchestra will move around the space, taking full use of the former press halls
and mix up the sections of the orchestra so the instruments are no longer grouped in
their usual formations. They will also perform in darkness and audience members
will be able to get close to the players to allow for a truly immersive performance.

Printworks has a colourful history, having gone from being the largest printing factory
in western Europe until it reopened in 2017 and became known as one of the
continent’s top electronic music venues and nightclubs. Located in the former
Harmsworth Quays printing plant, it printed newspapers including the Daily
Mail and Evening Standard right up until 2012.

The Aurora Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony will take
place at Printworks on 11 November.
