Evening Prayer and a performance of a Bach cantata by Liverpool Bach Collective.
The Collective usually consists of eight singers and an ensemble of around ten players, generally strings, oboes, bassoon and organ. The performers are a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians, all of whom have a love for the music of Bach and are united in their passion and their commitment in performing these wonderful works.
In Cantata 37, Bach sets Saint Luke’s gospel text of the centurion, whose servant has just been cured, is praised for his great faith. After a fine bass aria, “Faith creates the wings of the soul”, the cantata ends with a plea for the gift of strong faith.
Join the team for a spectacular evening hosted and headlined by GRUPO LUMA at Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room on Saturday, 22nd February 2025, 8pm. This one-night-only concert is a celebration of music, heritage, and resilience, featuring performances from Montserrat Fuentes Romero, George Peguero, and Saranne Carrasco-Brennan.
Led by Chilean brothers Francisco and Oscar Carrasco, Grupo Luma blends original compositions and iconic classics from across the continent, performed with an extraordinary array of instruments—from the Andean charango to the Peruvian cajón.
Marking 50 years since Francisco and Oscar’s family sought refuge in the UK, this concert is a heartfelt tribute to their journey and Latin America’s enduring cultural spirit.
For more than four decades now Gary Daly and Eddie Lundon, collectively better known as China Crisis, have been writing and performing some of the most catchy and sophisticated pop songs out there, from “Wishful Thinking”, “Black Man Ray”, and “King in a Catholic Style” to “Christian”, “Arizona Sky” and “Down Here on Earth”.
Their 2024 release China Greatness (featuring elevated, cinematic new arrangements of the songwriters’ own favourite tracks from across their catalogue) peaked in the album charts at record-setting levels for the band, and their recent tours around the globe have served to both build the loyalty of existing fans and entice new legions ardent new followers in the process.
Come join Eddie, Gary and their band in 2025 as they get back on the road again performing charttoppers that defined a generation to hidden gems that have lingered in the hearts of devoted listeners. It will be another unforgettable China Crisis night of music, laughter, and perhaps a just bit of nostalgia that will leave you answering the question of “Why stop now?” with “Why stop, ever?!”
