Work Experience with the Hallé

The Hallé Concerts Society welcomes interest and applications from all sections of the community for its Work Experience Scheme. The Scheme is limited to secondary school pupils aged 15-18.

Please note, however, that we are able to offer only a limited number of work experience placements and they are within the Hallé Administration.

Whilst at the Hallé, work experience will be gained in a number of departments including Education, Concerts and Marketing and, subject to the orchestra's schedule and location, it may be possible to attend part or all of one of the rehearsals. Work experience placements last for one week.

It is desirable that the person attending the placement has an interest in music, especially classical, although this is not essential.

If you are interested in doing work experience, please see below for the deadlines for applications for each term.

• Placements in the Christmas term are in October and November - the deadline for applications is the end of July.
• Placements in the Easter term are in February and March - the deadline for applications is the middle of December.
• Placements in the Summer term are in June and July - the deadline for applications is the end of March.
