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 collaborate on the LIMF
Academy orchestrated element of the programme too - which will see some of the most
talented solo artists from our cohort perform with the youth session orchestra. It is going to
be great!”
