Aurora Classical presents Dystopia, Gilbert and Sullivan Style.
Do corrupt leaders, a government corporatized, and bureaucratic stupidity…sound familiar? Take a look at the modern world through the musical and comedic genius of Gilbert and Sullivan!
Political satire, excerpted from G&S comic operas including: “H.M.S. Pinafore”, “The Yeomen of the Guard”, and the rarely performed but visionary “Utopia, Limited”, is fresh for today’s discourse. Join Aurora Classical and let your voice be heard!

Aurora Classical [https://auroraclassical.org/] was founded in 2015 to create classical music without all the perceived pretense that can get in the way of its enjoyment. Our dual goal is to make the classical music repertory accessible to all, whether to first-time listeners or experienced audiences, and to provide opportunities for our talented local artists. We believe everyone can enjoy classical music, and we strive to give freelance musicians the opportunity to share that joy as much as possible! Our name was inspired by a newspaper publication founded by Benjamin Franklin Bache called the Philadelphia Aurora. Bache was a grandson of Benjamin Franklin, and his paper stood for the rights of “plain folk.” Our focus is on sharing quality music with low-income communities. Classical music is for everyone regardless of your budget!
