VIP treats
When you become a Member, you open up a whole world of exclusive behind-the-scenes benefits here at the Phil. You’ll be invited to special events, access our Members-only bar and so much more. And one of the best perks – you’ll come along to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s open rehearsals.
See the incredible talent, dedication and artistry of our musicians and conductors up close and personal, and discover everything that goes into the concerts you love.
Every season, our Silver Members will be invited along to at least four open rehearsals, and Gold Members will receive invitations to at least eight open rehearsals.
Upcoming Open Rehearsals
Come along and join us half an hour before each rehearsal - and you're welcome to bring a guest along too. We'll have teas and coffees available to buy in the Grand Foyer, and then we'll head into the auditorium.
