The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir step into the spotlight, bringing you a roof-raising celebration of Liverpool Philharmonic’s choral family.
Rossini set to work on his renowned Petite messe solennelle towards the end of his life – and a whole 30 years after he wrote his operas. But that signature operatic flair still shines through in this vivid work full of colour and drama, vibrant rhythms and standout tunes. Tonight, you’ll hear it in all its glory, with exciting guest soloists singing alongside our magnificent chorus.
We’ll also see Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir take to the stage, before the Choir perform a new work by 2024 Rushworth Composition Prize winner and Choir member, Andrew Barney.

Hear why today, as they dive headlong into two centuries of Viennese music for string quartet: a dizzying, dazzling whirl of lilting tunes, sumptuous waltzes and glinting modernist colours.

The Adam Buxton Band
Join Adam Buxton and his live band for an intimate evening celebrating the release of his debut album, Buckle Up, out now via Decca.
Buxton, our most beloved podcaster, seasoned veteran of GarageBand and the jingle, enlisted Metronomy’s Joe Mount as producer and band leader …”I hoped it would be a Metronomy record with my voice” Buxton initially pondered, also hoping the record might sound like “Berlin-period Bowie and Eno going for lunch with Radiohead and Nina Simone at Brian Wilson’s beach brasserie.” Instead came fifteen songs that inhabit the space between heartfelt and silly, where Buxton has comfortably set up shop.
