The Red Rosettes Show Chorus had the privilege of joining Russell Watson once more on his 2024 ‘Magnificent Buildings Tour’, this time performing in the breathtaking setting of Liverpool Cathedral. After a memorable performance with the world-renowned tenor earlier this year at Blackburn Cathedral, the invitation to return and share the stage with him again was a true testament to the choir’s talent and passion.

 

This highly anticipated evening brought together a stellar lineup of guest performers, including the powerful brass ensemble Derwent Brass and the soulful singer Nancy May. The collaboration added depth and diversity to the musical experience, creating a night to remember for both performers and the audience alike.

Liverpool Cathedral provided the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary event. Its towering arches and exquisite acoustics amplified every note, creating a magical atmosphere that resonated with the hundreds in attendance. From the moment The Red Rosettes took the stage, their harmonies filled the cathedral with warmth and emotion, complementing Russell Watson’s soaring tenor voice.

For the Red Rosettes, it was a moment of pride and joy. Known for our dedication to vocal excellence and vibrant performances, the chorus delivered a flawless set that blended seamlessly with Watson’s repertoire. 

One member of the chorus reflected, “Performing with Russell Watson is an honor in itself, but to do so in a venue as magnificent as Liverpool Cathedral is a dream come true. We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring our music to such inspiring spaces.”
