Liverpool Philharmonic Challenge Fund - Supported by the Kenneth Stern Trust
Launched in April 2011, our Fundraising Challenge has already raised a magnificent £79,942, £20,000 of which has been generously matched by £20,000 from the Kenneth Stern Trust, giving us a total of £99,942. We are extremely grateful for the Trust’s support, and look forward to working together again in the future. Our next milestone will be to raise £100,000 by the start of next season. This is an ambitious target, but one that with the support of people who feel passionately about music and about the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, we are confident of reaching.
This support could not be more timely or more important. Liverpool Philharmonic’s public funding will be greatly reduced in the years ahead, creating a big challenge for our organisation. We are committed to cherishing and protecting what is widely acknowledged as one of the UK’s most valuable cultural institutions.
The generosity of our donors helps us to bridge the gap between ticket income and other funding, and what it costs to run a world-class symphony orchestra. It is no exaggeration to say that every great performance by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is due to their generosity.
Your gift will support:
World-class performances by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and visiting musicians and ensembles.
Brilliant artistic leadership and vision through Chief Conductor, Vasily Petrenko
Our efforts to develop new audiences through schools and family concerts, bringing classical music into the lives of people for the first time
Our education programme and our commitment to lifelong learning and participation in music
-
Watch a personal appeal from Michael Eakin and Vasily Petrenko.
We have now raised £99,942. Thank you to all our donors!
