Summary
Geoffrey Paterson leads the Liverpool Philharmonic at The Tung Auditorium in a contemporary programme featuring a new Samantha Fernando commission alongside works by Adams, Shaw, Capperauld and Stevenson.
Why it's fantastic
Experience how Beethoven’s legacy echoes through five modern masters, including a brand new world premiere inspired by the composer’s obsessive coffee habits. This hour-long performance offers a fresh, approachable perspective on classical tradition, culminating in the high-energy rhythms of John Adams’s celebrated work for a small, punchy ensemble.
