Passion Music  

An evening graced by the harmonious blend of Will Todd’s “Passion Music” alongside the timeless works of Purcell and Stainer promises to be a truly majestic experience. Will Todd’s “Passion Music” is known for its soul-stirring fusion of jazz and choral traditions, offering a modern yet emotional interpretation of the Passion narrative. Complementing this contemporary masterpiece, the compositions of Henry Purcell and John Stainer bring a rich tapestry of baroque elegance and Victorian choral beauty. Purcell’s intricate harmonies and Stainer’s evocative melodies together create a profound musical dialogue that transcends time, inviting audiences into a realm of spiritual reflection and artistic wonder. Such an evening not only celebrates the diversity and depth of choral music but also provides an unforgettable journey through centuries of musical brilliance.

A hugely appreciative full house at the fantastic Tung Auditorium witnessed the premiere performance of Keith Orrel’s outstanding new work, ‘Four Rivers’, commissioned by LWC.

Many thanks to special guests, Lord Lieutenant Mark Blundell, Deputy Lord Lieutenant Billy Hui and their wives Suzanne and Kerry, plus Guy and Heather Kelland whose generous sponsorship contributed greatly to the success of the evening.

And an extra special thank you to the wonderful Jean Hathorne and her son Charles for their presence. Jean is the grand-daughter of the Harry Evans, Liverpool Welsh Choral’s very first Choir Master in 1900.
