The Town Hall

Edwin Huizinga and William Coulter of Fire & Grace invite you to join them on another heartfelt journey of folk and Baroque music from Ireland and Scotland, and across the sea. The dynamic duo will be sharing a brand new and astonishing genre-defying mash-up of Bach and Irish music with a world premiere arrangement of Partita Celtica, a combination of the B minor solo violin partita with a Robert Schumann-inspired guitar part, mixed in with incredible original compositions from Celtic superstar musician Brian Finnegan.

Pegasus Opera, in partnership with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra present Windrush, The Journey. For more than 30 years, Pegasus Opera Company has fearlessly paved the way for diverse talent in opera. Today, we’re paying tribute to Windrush, showcasing a rich tapestry of music and storytelling, and celebrating Black classical composers: past, present and future. Through the outstanding music of Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Richard Thompson and Des Oliver – three composers who represent different eras of Black history – we’ll honour the legacy of the Windrush generation with an exciting fusion of classical music, steel pan, jazz and blues.
