Hallé for Youth is the name given to the annual series of schools’ concerts performed by the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall. Across the four concerts in the series, which usually take place in the spring term, the Orchestra plays to many thousands of young people from all over the north west.
The focus of the concerts is on providing a live music experience for young people who, in most cases, have never heard a symphony orchestra before. Another key feature of Hallé for Youth is the opportunity to visit The Bridgewater Hall, one of the country’s finest concert halls.
Every year, to accompany the schools’ concerts, Hallé Education organises a creative arts project for four selected primary schools across Greater Manchester. The content of the project is based on the theme and programme of the concerts. A Year 5/6 class from each of the schools works with two Hallé musicians to devise its own creative music piece, using one of the works included in the concert programme as a stimulus.
