FOYLE FUTURE FIRSTS The 17 members of the Foyle Future Firsts programme are talented graduate instrumentalists who aspire to be professional orchestral musicians. We support their transition between college and the professional platform, developing talented players to take up future orchestral appointments with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and other orchestras and ensembles around the world. Now in its 16th year, our unique programme has gone from strength to strength. Members are supported and nurtured to the highest standards and we are proud to see current and past Foyle Future Firsts undertaking professional engagements and building the necessary skillsets for successful orchestral careers. Members of the Foyle Future Firsts programme benefit from individual lessons and mentoring from London Philharmonic Orchestra Principals, mock auditions, and the opportunity to play in full orchestral rehearsals throughout the year. They also take part in chamber performances and work alongside London Philharmonic Orchestra musicians on Education & Community projects. lpo.org.uk/futurefirsts
