Hindoyan said: ’The Orchestra and I are very happy to be bringing our love of music

to Barrow. Music is for everyone and through our concerts, Youth Company, In
Harmony and Music and Health programmes we have seen first-hand how music
can transform lives. Our passion for music is at the heart of every one of our concerts,
and we can’t wait to share this with everyone in Barrow.’

In partnership with Barrow-in-Furness, the orchestra will produce a series of
concerts, community events and educational activities across the town as well as
offering performances to every primary school in Barrow. The partnership will also
see Liverpool Philharmonic take up creative residencies with secondary schools in
the area, enhancing their music education and, with Cumbria Music Education Hub
the orchestra will work to ‘embed a singing culture in all primary schools and to

boost group singing for children and young people across the town’.

Councillor Virginia Taylor, cabinet member for Sustainable Communities and
Localities at Westmorland and Furness Council, said: ‘Centuries of fascinating
history throughout the Barrow Locality have built up a rich and unique cultural

heritage, not least the industrial story still developing today, which has been and
remains a foundation and inspiration for so much creativity. It will be wonderful to
see this partnership enhance what is already happening and provide more chances
for local people to enjoy high-quality cultural experiences in their communities.’
