WHAT HAPPENS WHEN artists meet at the margins of their disciplines and push the boundaries back and forth?
WHAT HAPPENS IS AUREA A performance ensemble engaged in a joyous pursuit: to investigate and invigorate the harmony of music and the spoken word. Springing from collaborations between founders - actor Nigel Gore, violinist Charles Sherba, violist Consuelo Sherba, and harmonica virtuoso Chris Turner - AUREA’s concerts combine poetry, drama, epistles, classical and folk music, puppetry, and movement into performances that sweep from intimate chamber settings to major theatrical venues.
Central to AUREA’s mission is the pairing of meaningful educational outreach with artistic themes, striving through imaginative concert programming and educational workshops to inspire audiences of varied backgrounds and ages. Through the medium of performance, interfacing music with the spoken word, AUREA seeks to unify the humanities and fine arts in dynamic accessible and engaging ways.
