Courtney Pine returns to the Tung Auditorium this September to mark his 60th birthday
and as part of a new season of events at the Liverpool music venue.

Pine will bring his award-winning show House of Legends to the Oxford Street

auditorium on September 27.

The event is being staged in partnership with BlackFest, and the show celebrates the
influence and contributions to the UK from the many varied people of the Caribbean

along with the re-release of Pine’s ground-breaking debut album Journey to the Urge
Within.

It helps to kick off a new autumn season at the venue, which is based in the Yoko Ono

Lennon Centre at the University of Liverpool.

Among the events being hosted between September and Christmas are concerts by
the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its contemporary music group

Ensemble 10:10.

La Serenissima performs Music from the Italian States on October 13, the Chilingirian
Quartet appears on October 27, Orchestra dell’Arte presents La Boheme on

November 9, Crosby Symphony Orchestra plays Shostakovich, Prokofiev and
Rachmaninov on November 24, the University Symphony Orchestra performs on
December 1 – and on December 11, international piano virtuoso Kathryn Stott plays
her farewell concert to an already sold-out audience.
