Lufthansa Orchestra performs with British singer-songwriter James Arthur
In January 2024, Steven and the orchestra performed with the British singer-songwriter James Arthur and the Lufthansa Orchestra at the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg.

Lloyd-Gonzalez also wrote all of the orchestrations for the concert, totalling fourteen of James Arthur’s songs; two of which ( Bitter Sweet Love & Blindside ) Arthur included in the digital deluxe version of his Bitter Sweet Love Album, which subsequently went on to reach No.1 in the U.K. album charts.
