Liverpool Philharmonic were the first orchestra outside of London

to be granted the honour of using the word 'Royal'.

Buckingham Palace has this week announced that King Charles III has
accepted the patronage of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society,

Orchestra, and Choir.

The King has been a lifelong supporter of the arts and classical music. The

news follows a recent review of Royal patronages conducted by the Royal

Household, following the King’s accession.

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic chief executive, Michael Eakin OBE,

said: "We feel very privileged that His Majesty The King has accepted the
patronage of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society, Orchestra and Choir. For

over six decades, we were honoured to have the support of Her Majesty

Queen Elizabeth II, who became our patron in 1958. As the UK’s oldest
orchestra, and one of the largest cultural organisations in Liverpool, we

strive to enhance and transform lives through music.
