The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic has announced its ‘In Harmony Liverpool’ programme will benefit from further funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Established in 2009, In Harmony Liverpool uses orchestral music-making to improve the health, education and aspirations of children and young people in Everton.

The additional funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation will allow the scheme to increase its current reach of more than 700 youngsters to 1,000 by 2020, and pump more capital into its research and evaluation programme led by Dr Susanne Burns.

Michael Eakin, Liverpool Philharmonic’s chief executive, says: “We are incredibly grateful to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for their further, substantial investment in the future of children and young people in Everton.

“Their commitment over four years will benefit hundreds of young people and families, and ensure that Liverpool Philharmonic can share our learning and practice throughout the field of music education in the UK and internationally.”

In Harmony Liverpool is also supported by funders Arts Council England and the Department for Education.
