Orchestra partners with gin distillery

The Philharmonia Orchestra has announced a new partnership with award-winning Shropshire gin distillery Wardington’s Original Ludlow Dry Gin, and the creation of a limited-edition London Dry ‘Philharmonia Gin’.

Jennifer Suggitt, development director at the Philharmonia, said: 'We are thrilled to embark on this new partnership with Wardington’s Original Ludlow Dry Gin. The opportunity to collaborate in a creation as distinctive as the new Philharmonia Gin has been a wonderful experience for players and staff alike.

'With a proportion of proceeds from every bottle going to the Philharmonia, it provides the orchestra with an innovative new channel to raise vital funds during this difficult time, especially with disruption from COVID-19 set to continue into the new year. Through this partnership we look forward to extending the profile of the Philharmonia to new audiences – and to sharing a wonderful Christmas gift for music lovers everywhere.'
