Liverpool Philharmonic Announce New Partnership between the British Double Reed Society and In Harmony Liverpool

Wednesday 31 July 2024

Liverpool Philharmonic is delighted to announce a new partnership between the British Double Reed Society and their flagship learning and engagement programme, In Harmony Liverpool.

The partnership is the first of its kind for In Harmony, where a specialist instrumental foundation are supporting the development of the programme. The commitment will cover financial and in-kind support to the programme for three years from 2024-2027. Provision is specifically focussed on providing double reed support, activity, and events to In Harmony students.

James Turnbull, Chair of the British Double Reed Society said: "The British Double Reed Society is thrilled to be supporting In Harmony with a grant that will help in fostering the growth of double reed playing in Liverpool and its surrounding areas. In Harmony have a proven track record for improving access to instrumental music tuition and the BDRS looks forward to developing its partnership with In Harmony to bring the opportunity of double reed music making to more people".

Zoë Armfield, Head of Learning said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have the investment and support of the British Double Reed Society from 2024-2027. This unique partnership will have a significant impact on In Harmony, further developing the skills of our double reed players as well as expanding overall provision. The BDRS network will allow our young people to share their enthusiasm with like-minded musicians across the UK, and we look forward to working together in staging accessible and exciting double reed events over the next three years.”

In Harmony Liverpool provides free music education and instrumental tuition to over 1,700 children across 8 settings in Anfield and Everton, two of the city’s most disadvantaged communities. Children make music, learn an instrument, sing, compose, listen, rehearse and perform together each week in and out of school, led by professional musicians.
