Help us to bring the joy of music to more children and young people across Liverpool.
In Harmony Liverpool uses orchestral music-making to improve the life chances of children.
Every week, 1,790 young people aged 0-18 across Everton and Anfield learn a musical instrument, sing, and compose, free of charge.
In July, In Harmony Liverpool celebrates its 16th anniversary, and we are incredibly proud of how the project has grown, embedding music deeply within the community.

Many of you will know Michael Eakin OBE, who steps down as Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic in March. When asked about leaving presents, Michael said he would prefer for any gifts to be made to In Harmony - a project close to his heart.
A message from our Chief Executive, Michael Eakin OBE:
Dear Friends
As I prepare to step down from my role as Chief Executive, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your support, trust, and passion for music that has made my job so wonderful over the last 16 years.
I am especially proud of In Harmony Liverpool which began in 2009 (the same year I started) with a group of 84 children. This life-changing project now reaches over 1,790 young people every week in Anfield and Everton.
As I say goodbye, please consider donating to In Harmony and help us to continue to expand the project and reach more children and young people across the city.
While my journey with Liverpool Philharmonic may be coming to an end, I will always remain one of its biggest supporters.
With heartfelt thanks,
Michael Eakin OBE
Chief Executive

In Harmony is targeted at children with the greatest need and the fewest resources. Over 40% of In Harmony children are classed as living in poverty.
In 2023 we introduced additional activities for teenagers in the form of youth hubs. These hubs combine youth club culture with musical education after school, helping teenagers to continue their journey to higher education and employment.
Over the next two years, we aim to open two more youth hubs in Liverpool with the ambition of reaching an additional 250 young people each week.
The impact of your gift
Instruments purchased by In Harmony typically stay in the programme for over a decade and are played by at least 12 children.
