Hallé Connect

HALLÉ CONNECT brings together all of our activity away from the formal concert platform.

The Hallé’s Education Programme directly reaches over 65,000 people each year, of which 40,000 are children and young people, working across the whole community from schools to universities, care homes to prisons, bringing music in its broadest terms to those who may not attend the concert hall. Hallé musicians work in various settings across Greater Manchester and beyond, releasing creativity and raising aspirations through very accessible and practical projects.

The Hallé’s Family of Choirs welcomes over 600 people aged 8 upwards on a weekly basis to sing with inspirational choral leaders. Our youth choirs are open to all by audition, and free to join. Our adult choirs range from the world-renowned Hallé Choir (auditioned symphony chorus) to a range of workplace choirs and the friendly welcome of the Ancoats Community Choir.

The Hallé Youth Orchestra is free and open to any talented young instrumentalists aged 13-19 years, by audition.
