Nieve, a member of Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Company, has attended Careers Fest
for many years. She said:

“I enjoy attending Careers Fests because they inform me of the different musical
careers available to young musicians like myself and other musicians from all walks of
life. Particularly because I come from a non-musical background, the event helped me
see just how many jobs and opportunities were available out there.

Thanks to Careers Fest, I realised that my main instrument, the cello, was not just
limited to solo and orchestral performances. I have since had the chance to work with
bands, string quartets in weddings, musical theatre show-bands, private party venues
and some amateur orchestras, to name but a few!

I also work at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall as a Steward, which is another fantastic
career in the music industry, and a very important one to ensure everyone can have
access to music venues safely and enjoyably.

I have been attending Careers Fest events since I was thirteen years old, and I sincerely
recommend it to anyone who hasn’t had the chance to experience one yet, because

they make you realise there is so much more to the music industry than what you first
thought.”

In the evening, Liverpool Philharmonic’s exciting Youth Session Orchestra will team up
with LIMF Academy artists Ni Maxine, Amber Jay, Lazygirl and Micayl for the ‘LIMF
Academy Orchestrated’ concert, performing specially arranged, cross-genre original
music and covers.

Peter Garden, Executive Director – Performance and Learning at Liverpool
Philharmonic, said:

“We’re excited to be partnering with LIMF Academy to present this fantastic opportunity
for young people to find out more about the possibilities of a career in the music
industry from leading figures in the business.“Last year Liverpool Philharmonic Youth
Session Orchestra’s collaboration with LIMF Academy artists raised the roof of
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and we are looking forward to another spectacular concert
showcasing these talented young musicians. We are very grateful to LIMF Academy
and its superb artists for partnering with us again this year.”

Yaw Owusu, Programme Director for LIMF Academy, said:

“It’s an honour to be working closely again with the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth
Company on their Careers Day programme. The opportunity for a wide range of
emerging music creators and musicians to learn from experts and each other is so vital
in the development of talent in our city. We are extremely excited to also be able to
