Domingo Hindoyan’s third season as Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra unites musicians from across the world to explore works by Bruckner, Mahler,
Shostakovich, Puccini and Eleanor Alberga.

“This season ties together musical threads and themes that have been taking shape over the
past two years and I’m particularly looking forward to continuing our exploration of
Bruckner, with the Seventh Symphony, Mahler’s great Fifth Symphony, Brahms’ Fourth,
Shostakovich’s Fifth, and opera and song continue to run throughout the season” says
Domingo Hindoyan. “We will continue to champion new music, with the world premiere of
Eleanor Alberga’s piano concerto, performed by rising star Alim Beisembayev. I am thrilled
to welcome two exceptional soloists to join as our Artist in Residence and Young Artist in
Residence – Simone Lamsma and Johan Dalene respectively”.

The season opens with the rambunctious sounds of New York, with Domingo Hindoyan
conducting the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in Bernstein’s Symphonic
Dances from West Side Story, before being joined by soloist Paul Lewis for
Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Copland’s Piano Concerto. The evening concludes with
Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances (21 September). There will also be an Open Day at
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (24 September), which will invite people to experience Liverpool
Philharmonic through a series of taster sessions. These sessions will feature everything
from the full Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra together with Domingo Hindoyan, to
the studio sounds of Liverpool Philharmonic’s Music Room. More details to be announced in
June.

Hindoyan will conduct a range of performances this year, from Brahms’ Double
Concerto with Artist in Residence Simone Lamsma and cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière (23
November), to Bruckner’s Symphony No.7 (29 February), to a celebration of opera and song
with soprano Sonya Yoncheva andtenor Riccardo Massi (25 May).
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will make a welcome return to the BBC Proms at the
Royal Albert Hall, London (8 September) with Hindoyan, performing the UK premiere of
Gabriela Ortiz’ Clara. Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii will join to perform Rachmaninov’s Piano
Concerto No.3.
