In Harmony Liverpool, launched by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in 2009, has benefitted over 4,000 young people. Children and young people make music every week free of charge as part of the orchestral programme, learning an instrument, composing, singing, and performing a wide range of music in schools and venues throughout North Liverpool.
Some 1,750 children and young people currently take part within and beyond the school day, and over 40% of children involved in the programme are classed as living in poverty.
Part of a national Arts Council England initiative, In Harmony programmes are found in Lambeth, Nottingham, Telford, Stoke-on-Trent, Leeds and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, as well as Liverpool, and these aim to transform the lives of children in disadvantaged communities.
