Following a 16-year tenure, Michael Eakin OBE has announced
his retirement from his position as CEO of the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Society.

During his time at the helm, Eakin has contributed a great deal to
the life of the orchestra. He oversaw the £14m refurbishment of

its Hall, including the creation of a new second performance
space, The Music Room. In addition, Eakin has presided over the
expansion of the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Company and the

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir.

During the pandemic, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic became

one of the first ensembles in the world to present a series of live
orchestral concerts at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
