We’re delighted to announce that Liverpool String Academy, part of the charity Early Music As Education, will give a pre-concert performance at 6.45pm. Liverpool String Academy Orchestra is made up of children with a particular passion for historical performance. Earlier this year, we worked with Liverpool Academy in a side-by-side workshop (supported by a Continuo Foundation grant), and were so impressed - and we’re sure you will be too! Do join us when our doors open at 6.30pm, grab a drink from the bar, and enjoy music by Handel and Lully, performed by some early-music stars of the future!
