BACKDrunk man steals ‘L’ from Liverpool Philharmonic Hall sign
Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall, home to the UK’s oldest continuing professional symphony orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, has been vandalised. Merseyside Police say a drunk man stole the second ‘L’ in ‘Liverpool Philharmonic’ at 05:45 BST on Monday 31 August.
Police were called out after a man was seen climbing up the outside of the Grade II listed building, and onto a ledge. There, the man reportedly pulled the letter from the sign and fled the concert hall. Police searched the area and found a group of men, whom they chased down. One of them was found to be clutching the stolen letter.
An 18-year-old man from Giffnock, Scotland, and a 19-year-old man from Aigburth, Liverpool, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
Junge Deutsche Philharmonie in Sorge um Probespielpraxis
Der Orchestervorstand der Jungen Deutschen Philharmonie (jdph) hat sich in einem offenen Brief besorgt zur Ausbildungssituation von Musikstudierenden gezeigt. In der Hochphase der Corona-Pandemie seien nahezu alle Probespiele bei den Berufsorchestern eingestellt worden, heißt es in dem Schreiben vom 31. August. Die jdph erhofft sich daher in der aktuelle Situation für “Corona-Probespielen” einen “klaren Willen und kreativen Lösungsansätzen seitens der Orchester.”
Auch bei den Praktika kam es durch die Einstellung des Spielbetriebs der Orchester nur zu ganz wenig Einsätzen, die eine Verlängerung des Praktikums erfordern.

In the current situation for “Corona auditions”, jdph therefore hopes for a “clear will and creative approaches to solutions on the part of the orchestras.
In the case of the internships, too, the discontinuation of the orchestras’ playing operations meant that there were very few assignments requiring an extension of the internship.
