The MYO is a well established organisation based at the Philharmonic Hall. It has a history stretching back over 50 years and has participated in the training of many famous musicians including Sir simon Rattle, an ex Liverpool College pupil. I am currently in my third year at the orchestra and have enjoyed it immensely. We play five concerts a year and go on tour every two years. Members of the RLPO tutor us during the courses which are mainly during school holidays.
Entry is by audition, which take place in september each year.
The standard grade is about Grade 5 and above. Liverpool College pupils from age 14 -18 have been members of the orchestra for the last 20 years.
