The Royal Philharmonic: Pop Goes Classical by Candlelight

The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performs Pop Goes Classical, uplifting orchestral versions of the world's most iconic pop songs.
About this Event

Pop Goes Classical shows that a great melody transcends time and genre. Join us for an uplifting and unforgettable musical experience where the world’s best loved songs are reimagined by the iconic Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, orchestrated by the producers of the hit Classic FM album, Pop Goes Classical.

Set in the beauty and splendour of Liverpool Cathedral but with the intimacy of candlelight, this world-famous orchestra will take you from the heartfelt ballads of Ed Sheeran and John Legend to the anthemic sounds of Coldplay, U2, and Oasis, transforming well-loved songs such as Hallelujah, Fix You and Fields of Gold into sweeping symphonic masterpieces – as heard on Classic FM.

Whether you’re a lifelong pop fan, a classical music enthusiast, or somewhere in between, this celebration of uplifting and emotional music is not to be missed.

If you would like to commission the orchestration of a specific song on the night to celebrate a special occasion, please contact the organisers here: [email protected]
