Liverpool Philharmonic will receive £750,000 from Arts Council
England, thanks to its Government-funded Capital Investment

Programme, as announced today.

The funding will be used by Liverpool Philharmonic towards the
cost of remodelling its orchestral stage risers and choir seating
area to enhance onstage acoustics, improve the space for
musicians and singers to perform at their best, and provide access

for those with limited mobility to all areas of the stage.

This funding will enable Liverpool Philharmonic to continue
providing high quality creative and cultural experiences for people
in Liverpool.

The Capital Investment Programme supports the Arts Council’s
mission to ensure communities across the country have the
infrastructure where creativity for everyone can thrive.

Michael Eakin, Chief Executive, Liverpool Philharmonic said, “We
are grateful to Arts Council England for their generous support,

enabling us to make necessary improvements to our stage at
Philharmonic Hall. We present around 250 concerts and events
each year on the Philharmonic Hall stage and these will enable us
to continue to provide the best quality musical experience for our

audiences.”
