The Tung Auditorium Liverpool announces new season of shows

Liverpool’s acoustically-optimised concert hall, The Tung Auditorium, has announced their Spring-Summer 2024 season, now on sale.

Part of the University of Liverpool, The Tung Auditorium is part of the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre on Oxford Street. Read on for a few of the event highlights coming soon.

Acclaimed Performers

Experience live music up close with brilliant performers from across the genres. Arguably the original folk-rock band, Fairport Convention coming to Liverpool soon (10^th February), Sarah Jane Morris and her band will return with The Sisterhood Project (8^th March), and later in the spring, award-winning Northumbrian roots musician Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening (28^th April).

Classical

The Tung are presenting a varied and exciting range of classical concerts, including bass-baritone Davóne Tines’ unique perspective on liturgical performance (6^th February), and countertenor Reginald Mobley exploring a different vision of the English Baroque with the Academy of Ancient Music (28^th May). Liverpool Mozart Orchestra return with three fantastic programmes and Liverpool piano legends John Gough and Tom Kimmance will be joining forces to play both of the Tung’s Steinways (7^th March).

Jazz

The Tung’s jazz concerts continue, from the timeless Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert (26^th April) to the contemporary brilliance of the guitarist Tom Ollendorff’s Trio (6^th March) with one of the jazz world’s great piano players, Aaron Parks.

Spoken Word

There are a number of fascinating talks coming up, starting with Dame Patricia Routledge (23rd March) in conversation with Edward Seckerson. Beatles fans won’t want to miss the BBC’s Bob Harris and author/music journalist Colin Hall as they discuss a lesser-known side to the Fab Four: the Songs The Beatles Gave Away (25th May).

Free Lunchtime Concert Series

If you’re not familiar with the artists, programme, or even the genre, we dare you to take a risk on a Wednesday lunchtime concert at The Tung Auditorium! Frequently cited as the highlight of the audience’s week, this is an opportunity to enjoy something magical completely free on a Wednesday lunchtime. This season the auditorium will be welcoming artists in partnership with Liverpool Philharmonic (Trio Volant), Africa Oyé (Jali Bakary Konteh) and Milap (Debasmita Bhattacharya and Kousic Sen).
