The Long Walk, a commission by More Music's Pete Moser and acclaimed poet Lemn Sissay, is an ambitious international project in music and culture involving hundreds of people of all ages from the North West and China.

The work, paying tribute to the 23 illegal Chinese immigrant workers who lost their lives in February 2004, was launched at More Music in the West End of Morecambe last March and is now branching out to Liverpool.

Professional musicians and The More Music Ensemble, Community Choir and Orchestra, and British Chinese musicians Guo Yue, Semay Wu, Seaming To and Dinu Li will be on stage at The Great Hall at Cornerstone, Haigh Street in Liverpool on Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15.

Including a range of musical styles from classical to rock, choral to drum and bass, acoustic to heavy metal, The Long Walk is set against a dramatic backdrop of evocative digitally projected images by Dinu Li and takes the audience on a powerful and sensory journey through people's lives and across continents.

Act One of The Long Walk will literally take you on a journey, traveling by coach to four secret destinations in different parts of the city, which will be revealed on arrival. Act Two will bring the audience back to The Great Hall, Cornerstone, where the journey began to join over 100 musicians and vocalists who will continue the performance.

"The Long Walk is an opportunity to make vibrant new music that has a context in reality," said Pete Moser.

"When people come together to sing and play something they have created, can relate to and understand, you hear a real passion in the performance.

"The new work has also given me, as a musician and composer, a unique chance to play with some brilliant Chinese musicians and gain a new understanding of Chinese culture and philosophy."

In 2008 More Music will also take their project to Hong Kong, mainland China and Gateshead.
