From the feedback received – it looks as though a few people will be interested in resuming group visits to the Phil when the new season starts. The programme is not yet available, but we normally attend the opening concert. We will be at New Horizons to take bookings when meetings restart if we have the details. In the meantime, to book concerts independently, please read on.
Note: The following arrangements will probably still apply when u3a visits to the Phil are resumed.
Bookings are taken at the Horizons meetings for this season’s RLPO concerts – the table closes at 11.00am. Each concert booked should be paid for with a separate cheque. Please note: The Philharmonic now requires booking confirmation 4 weeks in advance. So to ensure your seat, please book early. Cancellations will only be accepted up to then. After that, if you cannot pass your ticket to a friend, we will try to resell it at Horizons. If we are unable to do so, there will be no refunds. Anyone finding it difficult to get to Horizons – please contact the Group Leader – Ann Robinson – and arrangements can be made to book by post.
The Philharmonic Concerts Group enjoyed a special occasion on 31st May this year, marking 50 years since The Beatles’ “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” revolutionised popular music. The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra teamed up with the well known Bootleg Beatles to recreate all the tracks on the famous album, plus a few more for good measure.
The July 2016 visit coincided with Vasily Petrenko’s 40th birthday, his 10th Anniversary with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the 10th visit of the Philharmonic Concerts group to the Summer Nights’ concert. Group Leader, Ann Robinson, assembled her members for this photograph before the coach left for Liverpool.
