Solo Adventures Await at Liverpool’s Philharmonic!

Ever craved an exclusive, behind-the-scenes peek at a legendary music venue? Maybe standard tours just don’t ignite your spark? Well, more and more venues are offering a backstage pass to a vibrant community of women who crave the extra-ordinary solo adventures.

Forget the crowds – we’re talking about an experience as unique as you are. Imagine standing on the very stage that’s graced iconic musicians, the echo of your footsteps mingling with the whispers of history.

The Liverpool Philharmonic, affectionately nicknamed “The Phil” by locals, isn’t just a concert hall – it’s a stunning Grade II listed Art Deco masterpiece boasting acoustics that’ll send shivers down your spine.

Founded in the mid-1800s by passionate music lovers, The Phil vibrates with an energy that’s simply contagious!

I remember the feeling as a child, feeling pretty small in such a huge venue as The Phil, gazing out at a sea of faces (1700 hundred seats and faces to be precise) – what it feels like to reclaim that awe-inspiring-moment from your youth to witness from the stage. I sang in Knowsley Youth Choir at The Phil for several years, and loved it!

But the Phil isn’t just about grandeur – it’s about moments that stay with you forever. The friendship. The laughter.

I can remember one performance at Liverpool Phil so well. It was a classical music concert. Midway through, the performance took a poignant turn with the announcement of Linda McCarney’s passing.

The orchestra’s tribute echoed through the hushed hall, a shared experience of respect and empathy for someone we had never even met.

Leaving the theatre venue / concert hall that night, the lingering conversation wasn’t about the (undoubtedly fantastic) performance, but about the collective heart that beat as one within those walls.
