Philharmonic Visits News

A message from Ann Robinson, the Philharmonic Visits Coordinator:

Could I please ask anyone who wishes to come to the concert on Sunday 19th May, Russian Passion with Vasily Petrenko, with lunch at The Refinery, to book this Thursday, April 11th, or contact me by phone.
(There will be no Philharmonic table at Horizons on 18th April when bookings should be confirmed.)

 

The new season launch is 8th May and I would be pleased if someone would come with me and help to choose the new programme.

 

Finally, if anyone missed the concert on Sunday 8th April, for which we were given free seats in the Grand Circle, it was broadcast on Radio 3 on Sunday and could be heard on iplayer. You missed a treat!

“It Was 50 Years Ago Today”

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.
