The University of Liverpool Symphony Orchestra is delighted to return to The Tung Auditorium this December for its annual Christmas concert, a much-anticipated event in the university’s musical calendar. Since the opening of The Tung Auditorium three years ago, the orchestra has made it its home, regularly rehearsing and performing here.
This year’s concert is especially significant, marking not only the orchestra’s festive celebration but also its first performance under the baton of newly appointed conductor Helen Harrison. A highly accomplished and experienced musician, Helen brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and artistic vision to the role. Her leadership promises to guide this dynamic, full-sized symphony orchestra, entirely run by students, into an exciting new chapter of musical excellence.
The ensemble itself is formed of dedicated student musicians from the Liverpool University Music Society (fondly referred to as LUMS), a thriving student-led organisation committed to fostering a vibrant musical community at the University of Liverpool. LUMS offers a wide range of ensembles and performance opportunities, encouraging musical growth, collaboration, and creativity among students from all academic backgrounds.
For this seasonal concert, audiences can look forward to an evening brimming with festive cheer, musical storytelling, and rich orchestral colour. The programme will feature a joyful mix of Christmas-themed repertoire alongside dramatic and evocative works inspired by the timeless legend of Faust. Expect stirring selections from composers such as Tchaikovsky, Gounod, Meyer, and Coleridge-Taylor, among others, all performed with enthusiasm and spirit.
Whether you're a returning supporter or attending for the first time, join us for a magical evening of music that celebrates the season, the spirit of collaboration, and the bright future of student music-making at the University of Liverpool.
