Eurovision Rock Choir brightening up the city with music

Rock Choir will perform all over Liverpool's city centre to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest and to help build funds for Ukrainian charities.

500 Liverpool and Merseyside members form the largest contemporary choir in the world, Rock Choir, and will soon hit the streets to welcome Ukraine to the city.

Rock Choir launched their Eurovision serenades last week as they opened the spectacular Floating Earth event at the Royal Albert Dock. They've been embraced by Culture Liverpool to provide numerous uplifting performances in locations encompassing some of Liverpool’s most famous landmarks.

As part of the numerous other performances across the city, Rock Choir will be singing the iconic Beatles track With A Little Help From My Friends, which will include a line of the hit song sung in Ukrainian. This line has been taught to the Rock Choir Members by Ukrainian Rock Choir leader, Christina Dmytryk Clark, who has been instrumental in helping Ukrainian families find sponsors in the UK. Many of those families were placed with Rock Choir Members.

The performances will continue to raise funds for the Ukrainian appeal organised by the Disaster Emergency Committee and has raised over £50,000 for the appeal to date.

Their full schedule for Saturday, May 13, is as follows:

  • 11pm - 4pm: Mersey Ferries
