It will be Domingo Hindoyan’s third season with The Philharmonic, he said: "This season ties together musical threads and themes that have been taking shape over the past two years and I’m particularly looking forward to continuing our exploration of Bruckner, with the Seventh Symphony, Mahler’s great Fifth Symphony, Brahms’ Fourth, Shostakovich’s Fifth, and opera and song continue to run throughout the season.
"We will continue to champion new music, with the world premiere of Eleanor Alberga’s piano concerto, performed by rising star Alim Beisembayev. I am thrilled to welcome two exceptional soloists to join as our Artist in Residence and Young Artist in Residence – Simone Lamsma and Johan Dalene respectively."
Michael Eakin, chief executive of Liverpool Philharmonic, added: "It is wonderful to be launching our new 2023/24 season, our third with chief conductor Domingo Hindoyan, during such a culturally significant week for Liverpool. As the largest music organisation in the city, we are central to that cultural offering all year round, and I am incredibly proud of our work both on and off the stage in reaching right across Liverpool’s diverse communities and in welcoming artists and audiences from all over the world."
