“I hope this can act as a springboard working towards the orchestra’s 75th
Birthday in 2026.

“The orchestra has a special history and I am proud to be a part of it, working
alongside a great team.

“I am passionate about making classical music accessible to everyone and I
would encourage all young people in Liverpool and the North West to sign up for
an audition and be part of something very special for young people in the heart
of Liverpool.”

Michael Eakin OBE, Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic was excited about
Robert’s appointment.

He said: “We are delighted that Robert will be joining Liverpool Philharmonic. His
passion for music and many years’ experience as a conductor and musician will
bring a fresh energy to our Youth Orchestra and help to inspire these incredibly
talented young musicians.

“The city’s young people are a central focus of our work. We provide regular
musical training to 2,000 young people through Liverpool Philharmonic Youth
Company and In Harmony and are delighted to welcome the next generation of
talented musicians into our Youth Company this year.”
