Liverpool Hope University
Liverpool Hope University is our principal Higher Education Partner. Members of the Orchestra are visiting fellows of the University, teaching in Hope's Music Department.
We run workshops for student composers and performers, demonstrations, masterclasses, a chamber concert series, visits to the Liverpool Philharmonic's concerts and rehearsals and special events such as Ensemble 10/10's series of new music concerts at the Cornerstone.
Hope students work alongside Liverpool Philharmonic’s Learning & Engagement team and musicians, developing their skills in applied practice in schools and children’s centres.
All students of Music at Hope benefit from this unique partnership, and can apply for a limited number of Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Instrumental Scholarships. Music can be studied at Hope as a single honours degree Music, Popular Music, Music Technology, or as part of the BA Honors Combined programme, in combination with another subject.
Details of courses in Music at Hope are available at www.hope.ac.uk . For specific enquiries related to admissions call 0151 291 3295.
Liverpool Hope University is a partner in the In Harmony Liverpool programme and in March 2009 awarded Vasily Petrenko, the internationally acclaimed Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, a prestigious Doctor of Letters (honoris causa). Vasily was also installed as a Visiting Professor at Liverpool Hope University in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Music and Music Education within the City of Liverpool.

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Instrumental Scholarships at Liverpool Hope University
As part of the partnership agreement reached between the University and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, a number of instrumental scholarships are offered each year. These provide the successful applicant with free lessons from a member of the Liverpool Philharmonic for the duration of the scholarship, and which will normally be held for the full duration of the course.
Applications are invited from current students or anyone planning to come to study Music at Hope. The scholarships will be available in any orchestral instrument; however, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from string players.
