<!--COMMENTING OUT UNCITED ADDITION ===Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and Events Ltd===

Since the early years of the 21st century the concert venue has been run through a wholly owned subsidiary of the charitable society. This enables the society and its funders and sponsors to recognise their investment in the symphony orchestra and educational and community programmes separately from the concert venue business, which is run commercially and has returned surplus to the society each year since this arrangement was introduced.-->

===Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir===

A choir has been an integral part of Liverpool Philharmonic since its foundation.  Originally called the Liverpool Philharmonic Choir, the name "Royal" was added to its title in 1990.  Its longest serving chorus master was Dr J. E. Wallace who held this position from 1929 to 1970, apart from a break during the Second World War.<ref name=hm184>{{Harvnb|Henley|McKernan|2009|p=184}}</ref>

===Ensemble 10:10===

This group was formed in 1997 by two members of the orchestra, principal clarinettist Nick Cox and associate principal cello Hilary Browning, to address a gap in programming by performing works of [[Contemporary classical music|contemporary music]] and was initially run by the players themselves, receiving funding from the north-west arts board.  It was later taken over by the society and has since been conducted by [[Clark Rundell]], and has performed a large number of world premières.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ensemble 10:10 |url=https://www.liverpoolphil.com/the-orchestra/orchestra-season-202223/ensemble-1010/ |website=Liverpool Philharmonic |access-date=29 July 2022}}</ref>
