Q2 Music at the Proms continues on Saturday, August 10 at 7 pm with the Aurora Orchestra led by conductor Nicholas Collon. The ensemble makes its BBC Proms debut with two works by American composer and performer Frank Zappa: The Adventures of Greggery Peccary, his self-described "twisted sort of musical fairy tale," and G-Spot Tornado, in a 70-piece orchestration by Ali N Askin.
Conlon Nancarrow's comically wild Study for Player Piano No. 7 and the UK premiere of Philip Glass's Symphony No. 10 round out the evening's high-flying, boisterous program.
