Royal Liverpool Philharmonic - 175th Anniversary Season

Details

Description

1840 - 2015

In 1840, the same year that the first Cunard passenger liner set sail for America, a group of Liverpool music-lovers came together to form a society which fave four concerts in its first year.

Today, the original vision of that first committee 'to promote the science and practice of music' has remained a constant and driving ambition. It is manifested today in the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and our associated ensembles, visiting artists, and all who work behind the scenes in a music organisation which has been at the heart of Liverpool's cultural life since 1840.
