About the Rodewald Concert Society
Formed in 1911 in memory of Alfred E. Rodewald, the celebrated Liverpool-based benefactor and conductor, the Rodewald Concert Society has been responsible for bringing some of the world’s finest chamber musicians to Liverpool.
Re-formed in 1998, the RCS now promotes an annual series of chamber concerts in partnership with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
