Liverpool Philharmonic, one of the UK’s most forward-looking music organisations.

Lunchtime Learning

Whether you are new to classical music or a regular concert goer, join composer and lecturer Ian Stephens for a daytime series of inspiring music and relaxed learning.

Each series includes three events: a mixture of Lunchtime Concerts performed by musicians of the Royal LiverpoolPhilharmonic Orchestra and opportunities to experience full orchestra rehearsals at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Each event also includes a 45 minute interactive workshop in the Rodewald Suite exploring the music to be featured in the  concert/rehearsal. Workshops include discussion, music activities and opportunities to socialise. Tea and coffee provided.

Please note that Orchestra rehearsals maynot cover all listed repertoire

Last season, participants commented:

• “Brilliant fun!”

• “Overall excellent, relaxed, informative, friendly. Very pleasant.”

• “More sessions please!”
