For this seasonal concert, audiences can look forward to an evening brimming with festive cheer, musical storytelling, and rich orchestral colour. The programme will feature a joyful mix of Christmas-themed repertoire alongside dramatic and evocative works inspired by the timeless legend of Faust. Expect stirring selections from composers such as Tchaikovsky, Gounod, Meyer, and Coleridge-Taylor, among others, all performed with enthusiasm and spirit.
This year’s concert is especially significant, marking not only the orchestra’s festive celebration but also its first performance under the baton of newly appointed conductor Helen Harrison. A highly accomplished and experienced musician, Helen brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and artistic vision to the role. Her leadership promises to guide this dynamic, full-sized symphony orchestra, entirely run by students, into an exciting new chapter of musical excellence.
The ensemble itself is formed of dedicated student musicians from the Liverpool University Music Society (fondly referred to as LUMS), a thriving student-led organisation committed to fostering a vibrant musical community at the University of Liverpool. LUMS offers a wide range of ensembles and performance opportunities, encouraging musical growth, collaboration, and creativity among students from all academic backgrounds.
