As part of the Tomorrow’s Warriors 30th anniversary celebrations, Nu Civilisation Orchestra leads a musical celebration of 50 years of What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, as part of a UK tour.
The event is held 24 November, 8pm. See here for tickets.
The tour will see Nu Civilisation Orchestra, with the addition of special guests, reflect on our current times through the lens of Marvin Gaye’s incredible catalogue and will integrate a local spoken word artist.
Conducted by Peter Edwards, the 24-piece orchestra – featuring Nathaniel Facey (alto sax), Cherise and Renato Paris (vocals), Eddie Hick (drums), Jihad Imroel-Quays Darwish (bass), Sarah Tandy (piano) and Ife Ogunjobi (trumpet) – will make a perfectly timed creative exploration and celebration of Gaye’s seminal masterpiece, five decades after its release.
The Nu Civilisation Orchestra is a world-class ensemble brought together by Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Artistic Director Gary Crosby OBE, with a vision of bringing new expression to classic repertoire and providing a platform for new arrangements and compositions from some of the most exciting young musicians in the UK today.
