Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5
Sparks fly when Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan teams up with Kazakh keyboard dynamo Alim Beisembayev, returning to Liverpool once again after his win at the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition.
Prepare for the grand passions and endless melodies of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, a glittering celebration from Rimsky-Korsakov and – right at the centre of things – the unique chemistry of Hindoyan and Beisembayev in a concerto that Prokofiev forged in the fires of revolution.
Programme: Rimsky-Korsakov Russian Easter Festival Overture, Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.2, Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5 Performers: Domingo Hindoyan conductor, Alim Beisembayev piano
A Choral Celebration

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.

It simply has to be heard.’ – Music Web InternationalChaos doesn’t have to mean mayhem – it can contain unbounded energy and limitless creative possibilities. That’s certainly the case with these four young string players, who’ve made quite a stir since they were chosen as BBC New Generation Artists in 2023. 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.
