The Hallé's 2007-2008 Family Concerts are now finished. Details of the 2008-2009 Family Concerts will be available around the beginning of May.

The Hallé Family Concerts
The Hallé's Family Concerts are informal, fun and educational, with the opportunity for you, the audience, to join in. They have been created specifically with families in mind, so everyone is welcome, from great-grandparents to tiny toddlers!

Lasting approximately two hours (including an interval), the Hallé's Family Concerts take place in the stunning Bridgewater Hall and begin at 3pm, with Children's Workshops taking place in the morning. Each Family Concert has its own theme, so why not come in fancy dress?

Before you enter the amazing auditorium for the concert itself, the foyers of the striking building will be filled with a host of entertainers. There are men on stilts, jugglers, magicians and face painters, to name but a few. You will also hear music performed by local music groups. Don't be afraid to explore the foyers and experience these fabulous adventures for yourselves.

The fun lasts all day when you join in the Hallé way!
In the morning of each of the concerts there is an interactive children's workshop that finishes with a grand finale at 2pm, where the children present a short performance of the morning's work. These performances are free and open to everyone, so come along to the Barbirolli Room and listen to the results.

Hallé Family Concerts are sponsored by the Manchester Airports Group.
