Andrew Manze live in Liverpool

Experience Andrew Manze live on September 17th

Andrew Manze will perform at Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on September 17, 2026. Manze is a British violinist and director renowned for his historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical era music. His approach emphasizes clarity of texture, rhythmic vitality, and a deep engagement with the stylistic nuances of the composers he interprets. He frequently leads ensembles from the violin, eschewing a traditional conductor’s podium in favour of a more collaborative and dynamic leadership style. His repertoire spans works by composers such as Bach, Handel, and Mozart, often focusing on lesser-known pieces alongside established masterpieces.

Philharmonic Hall opened in 1849 as a venue dedicated to orchestral music and has been continuously used for that purpose since. Originally designed by Thomas Allom, it underwent significant renovations in the 1930s led by Herbert J. Rowse, resulting in its current Art Deco interior. The hall is celebrated for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere – seating approximately 1,668 people – making it highly regarded amongst musicians and audiences alike. It serves as the home of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts a diverse range of classical music performances throughout the year.
