Belshazzar’s Feast with Sir Bryn Terfel; Mahler’s Symphony No.3 and Verdi’s
Requiem conducted by Domingo Hindoyan; and Janáček’s ear-tingling

Glagolitic Mass. In the annual Spirit of Christmas concerts the choir will be

joined by the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir and guest artist Roderick

Following her recent debut with the English National Opera, Liverpool-born

mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston returns to perform Mahler’s Symphony No.

3 with the Orchestra under the baton of Domingo Hindoyan. In a moving
farewell, Kathryn Stott will give her final recital performance in the city where

her career began.

A host of artists will return to perform with the Orchestra this season,

including Sir Bryn Terfel with a rendition of Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast
alongside the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir. Trumpeter Pacho Flores

will bring the sounds of South America to the heart of Liverpool with the

world premiere of a new work by Daniel Freiberg. Pianists Simon Trpčeski,
Víkingur Ólafsson and Paul Lewis will be performing a range of repertoire by

Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Schubert. Violinists Chloë Hanslip and Michael

Barenboim return for works by Glass, Roustom and Bartók.

Domingo Hindoyan, Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra, said: “This season is one of real joy for me as it’s now my fourth

year with this wonderful Orchestra. The way our artistic relationship has

grown over this time has created a strong creative partnership and I can’t wait

to continue to work together and make more beautiful music.

"I’m particularly looking forward to bringing music from South America to the
Hall and continuing our journey of Bruckner, this time with the Ninth

Symphony. This season we will also focus on repertoire surrounding my love

of music for the voice.”
