The music of Beatrice Aurore combines social criticism with dark fairy tales. By infusing theatrical elements in both her sound and presentation, the artist has taken her Electro-Acoustic "Art-Pop" beyond the Swedish borders with shows in Latvia, Rumania, Norway and Finland.
Her 6-piece Make-Believe Orchestra comes with stunning harmonies, haunting strings and a keys and rhythmic section (meticulously created from atmospheric sound design) that will take you on an adventure filled with imagination and mystique. It is an imaginative performance for both the eye and ear.
Beatrice started performing her music at 14, and as she grew, the jovial notes of her playful circus-pop slowly matured into a star-strewn horror-esce soundscape, with ambience that gives delicious depth to her whimsical lyricism. Now she's recording new music, finding inspiration in the complexity of thought and dream, embodying the dark fantasy world that's been her playfriend since childhood.
She says: "I've always had a thing for theatrics and fantastical things. I previously studied and worked in musical theatre, loving the concept of completely giving yourself up to a story, soaking in it and letting it take over. Soon I found that manuscripts and directed characters wasn't for me. I wanted to get lost inside my own head and write my own stories. My music lets me be limitless, turn fear and sorrow into something palpable, imaginative and even beautiful."
Beatrice Aurore is also recognized as an enticing Cabaret Songstress, performing spooky vintage acts with luxurious costume and dramatic flair. With over 10 years of experience in performing at cabaret shows, she is sure to enchant any audience.
Aside from her own artistry, Beatrice has set her mark on the music industry as an A&R at the Swedish Indie Label Icons Creating Evil Art, and is today one of the producers at Uppsala Concert & Congress. She is also the co-founder of the Cabaret Production Company Odditites & Mirth.

“It starts with a woman in a play card inspired dress entering the stage… She kicks her high heels off and stands behind the piano... Anything can come from this. And then they start singing. It's a fantastic imaginative performance. The audience is spellbound.”

“Beatrice Aurore is an unique act in the Swedish music industry with their own concept. It’s not always easy to decide what’s serious and what’s jest when Beatrice Aurore performs.”
