Feel soothed, comforted and uplifted with exclusive playlists curated by the London Philharmonic Orchestra especially for Welbeck patients.
At Welbeck, we aim to provide a thoughtful, considered and exceptional experience at every stage of your journey with us.
We’re always exploring ways to make our centres feel less clinical and more welcoming — creating spaces that support not only physical health, but emotional wellbeing too. Which brings us to our latest collaboration…
As part of our longstanding partnership with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), Welbeck is proud to provide pro bono treatment and care for the orchestra’s musicians.
Now, the LPO has specially curated an exclusive collection of calming, comforting and uplifting playlists for Welbeck patients and visitors. Inspired by the power of music to support wellbeing, these playlists will be played in waiting areas across all Welbeck centres, helping to create a more relaxing and reassuring environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
'At Welbeck, we believe outstanding patient care is shaped by every part of the experience, from the expertise of our clinicians and the technology we provide, through to the atmosphere patients step into when they walk through the door. Partnering with the London Philharmonic Orchestra reflects that thinking – bringing one of the world's great orchestras into our spaces is a natural extension of our commitment to delivering the exceptional. As we open in Oxford and Cambridge later this year, we're looking forward to extending this experience to patients beyond London.'
– Andrew Chadwick-Jones, Chief Executive Officer, Welbeck
Research has shown that listening to classical music may help to:
lower heart rate and blood pressure
decrease cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
reduce pain
regulate the nervous system
aid sleep
So whether you’re waiting for an appointment, accompanying a loved one, or awaiting test results, we hope this new addition to the Welbeck experience helps you feel a little more at ease.
'We're very happy to share the London Philharmonic Orchestra's exceptional performances with visitors to Welbeck's clinics. Our specially curated collaborative playlist offers a mix of calming and joyful orchestral music to lift the spirits of every listener. You'll discover an inspiring selection of repertoire from Beethoven to Star Wars, drawn from our historic and more recent recordings with the world's top soloists and conductors. The wellbeing benefits of listening to music have been widely evidenced, so we're particularly pleased to be collaborating with Welbeck to launch this playlist during Mental Health Awareness Month.'
– Jesús Herrera, Artistic Director, London Philharmonic Orchestra
