Royal Albert Hall

It was a sad day in February 2023 when the world heard that Burt Bacharach had died. Tonight’s tribute includes many of his most famous songs, including ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’, ‘What The World Needs Now’, ‘Do You Know The Way to San Jose’, ‘Walk on By’, ‘Close to You’… he wrote the kind of tunes that you know without even realising it. They’re the soundtrack to an era – the easiest of easy listening, with an irresistible swing. Tonight, in the stunning surroundings of the Hall, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and an all-star cast of vocalists give them the deluxe treatment.

What The World Needs Now: A Tribute to Burt Bacharach

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic

“Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’”. It’s time to dust off your disco gear, dig out those sunglasses and boogie, as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and a team of star West End vocalists celebrate the groove, the era and the legend that was the Bee Gees. 'Night Fever', 'How Deep is Your Love', 'Tragedy', 'Stayin’ Alive'– you know them, you love them and now hear them live and jiving in full symphonic sound. Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, it’s almost too much heaven at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall tonight.

Summer of Love: Bee Gees

Following on from the acclaimed celebration of Elton John with the Hallé last year, conductor Richard Balcombe and our star soloists guide us through the Bee Gees highly successful career: from the early period in the 1960s and ’70s, through to their career defining multi-award winning soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever in 1977, their burgeoning reputation as writers and producers for other leading artists in the ’80s to their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. You should, most definitely, be dancing.

The Bridgewater Hall

The BSO and GRB Concerts present a musical celebration of the Bee Gees, from their highly successful early period in the 1960’s and 70’s, through to their career defining multi-award-winning soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever in 1977 which, alongside the film, made a ground-breaking contribution to pop culture across the globe. Throughout the 1980’s, they developed a highly successful reputation as writers and producers for other leading artists – the likes of Barbara Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Frank Valli and Yvonne Elliman.
