The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the UK's oldest continuing professional symphony
orchestra. The origins of its concert series date back to the formation of the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic, a concert society founded by a group of Liverpool music lovers in 1840. Domingo
Hindoyan joined the orchestra as chief conductor in September 2021.
The orchestra is the largest music organisation and one of the largest cultural organisations in the
city. Liverpool Philharmonic premieres and commissions more music than any other UK orchestra,
with over 150 works premiered and commissioned in the last 10 years.
In 2021/22, 107,817 participants of all ages took part in Liverpool Philharmonic's learning and
community engagement programmes. Over 14,000 people living with mental ill-health have benefitted
from its music and mental health programme over the last 13 years.
