Since the programme began, it has worked with over 17,000 people using
music to support wellbeing, mood and build confidence. The work is delivered
by a team of 10 highly experienced musicians, and over 25 visiting musicians
from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Peter Garden, Executive Director – Performance and Learning at Liverpool
Philharmonic, said, “It is fantastic that NHS Trusts in the region are
increasingly recognising the positive impact music and professional
musicians can have on people’s health and wellbeing, and enhancing health
services. We welcome The Walton Centre to our Music and Health programme
and are grateful for their commitment to this new partnership.”

Jan Ross, Chief Executive at The Walton Centre said, “I am delighted that we
have been able to support this partnership with Liverpool Philharmonic. The
lift that the music performances will be able to give to our patients and staff
will be of immense benefit to both their physical and mental wellbeing. I am
really looking forward to hearing them around the hospital.”
