The Hallé Youth Orchestra, founded in September 2002, is a symphony orchestra for talented young musicians across the region who do not benefit from the musical opportunities provided by full-time specialist music education. Under the direction of its Music Director, Rory Macdonald, members work regularly with Hallé players and have worked with other artists of international standing including Heinrich Schiff, Cristian Mandeal, Baldur Brönnimann and Emma Bell. With a wonderfully rich programme that includes Britten’s evocative Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes, this is bound to be a popular event - book early!
