“Michael’s tenure has been nothing short of transformative. His
               visionary approach has not only strengthened our financial

               foundation but has also significantly expanded our reach and
               impact within the community. Under his guidance, Liverpool
               Philharmonic has flourished, becoming a beacon of artistic
               excellence and cultural innovation”


               Michael Eakin said, “Throughout my career, working in the arts has

               been a profound joy, with my time at Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
               standing out as particularly rewarding. This institution is not just a
               cornerstone of Liverpool’s cultural identity, but a significant
               contributor to the UK’s artistic landscape.



               “Our reach extends across the community, touching the lives of
               hundreds of thousands through our concerts and educational
               initiatives. The unwavering support from Liverpool’s residents and
               our partners has been extraordinary – I can’t imagine a more
               inspiring city in which to lead a musical organization.



               “I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with an exceptional team,
               and any accolades I’ve received are a testament to their dedication
               and hard work as much as my own contributions. As I step down, I
               leave with a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to have

               been part of this remarkable journey.”


               As he retires, Michael Eakin leaves behind a legacy of artistic
               excellence, and community impact that has cemented Royal
               Liverpool Philharmonic’s position as a cornerstone of Liverpool’s

               cultural landscape and a significant contributor to the UK’s cultural
               scene.
