Liverpool Biennial in partnership with The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will premiere a new symphony by Michael Nyman entitled Hillsborough Memorial at Liverpool Cathedral on July 5. Symphony No. 11: Hillsborough Memorial represents the culmination of Michael Nymans thinking around the tragedies connected with Liverpool Football Club. 25 years after the Hillsborough disaster, he says that he hopes it will make a small but significant contribution to the healing process still necessary for the families of the lost fans. Symphony No. 11 also restores the work known as ‘Memorial’ to its original 1985 context (having subsequently become well-known in ‘The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover’). In this new version for voice and orchestra, Kathryn Rudge will sing the names of the 96 Liverpool fans who lost their lives, accompanied by music Nyman was recording on the afternoon of the Hillsborough tragedy.
