Michael Eakin, Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic said: "This gift is recognition of the work we have done for the past 15 years, and a real vote of confidence in our organisation from one of the leading foundations supporting work in the arts to effect social change and to ensure young people, can realise their full potential."
