Following the successful premiere of John Casken's Oboe Concerto in 2014, the series of commissions for Hallé wind soloists continues with 'The Madonna of Silence', written for the Hallé’s Principal Trombone, Katy Jones. John Casken’s craftsmanship, musical imagination and mastery of instrumental writing will doubtlessly thrill and inspire. The world premiere of the work, together with performances of Mozart Symphony No.31 and Prokofiev Symphony No.5 will be conducted by Jamie Phillips, former Hallé Assistant Conductor.
Thursday 28 February at The Bridgewater Hall.

The Hallé’s Principal Clarinet Sergio Castelló López is soloist in Mozart’s serene concerto joined by Carlos Miguel Prieto, conductor. It was written for Anton Stadler, hugely respected despite Mozart’s nickname for him: ‘old redcurrant face’. The concerto was tailored to exploit Stadler’s virtuosity, celebrated singing tone and love of the instrument’s rich lower register.

Yet another awesome performance from the Halle. Had a very unexpected but most wonderful evening listening to the the wonderful Halle perform Movie Classics along with an incredible and spine tingling performance by Soprano Natalya Romaniw.

Went to see the Halle Christmas concert yesterday, how amazing , the children were inspiring, the energy of the conductors and the brilliance of the musicians gave us a truly awesome afternoon. Thank you and merry Christmas

We attended the Now Hear This concert at The Concert Hall in Nottingham again yesterday for about the 5th year running - wonderful as always. So great to see the kids being enthused (and big thumbs up to Tom for stepping into the breach when Jonathan was delayed yesterday!). Sadly next year will be our last one as my daughter will be too old to carry on joining in :(.

Was awesome,magical. To see all those musicians doing their thing to make a beautiful sound was fantastic.

Tonight's concert - La Damnation de Faust - brilliant and charged with emotion. Sir Mark and the Halle delivered a memorable performance, and I was unexpectedly impressed with the acoustics (but not the seats!) of the Usher Hall. Amazing!

Thank-you to all involved for todays performance playing a selection of Ten Pieces. Halle For Youth is simply inspiring for our children. Well done... from all at Halle Queensbridge Farnworth xxx

Thank you to Sir Mark and the Halle for last nights amazing performance of Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff and Rimsky-Korsakov at the Bridgewater Hall. All amazing, but Sherherazade was absolutely sublime. Top class. X

Recently saw the Halle for the 3rd time and they always blow me away. Incredible performances and an amazing experience to see and hear them live.

Pure JOY! Rhapsody in Blue had me in tears of joy. So emotional tonight at the Royal Concert Hall Nottingham. Thank you.

Probably the best orchestra in the world. The Halle are totally amazing. Manchester is proud of the Halle. Totally the best! The Bridgewater Hall is also an excellent venue. Go and see the Halle!!!

Many thanks to Steve Pickett, Sir Mark Elder, Laura and the fabulous musicians of The Hallé orchestra for allowing Michael Hollette and others to join their rehearsal today. Good luck for what is going to be a fabulous concert this evening.

Just spent an exquisite evening in the presence of the Halle. A truly moving experience.

Just came and listened to your Come and play with the Halle concert where my daughter from Childer Thornton took part with all the other children. What a brilliant concert which was so inspiring for children and us parents as well. Thank you to all involved the whole concert and interaction was amazing and I am sure will encourage children to keep playing instruments.

Had the best evening tonight for Halloween. Me and my son George loved it.x the Halle are just wonderful to watch and listen to.x can't wait for next time we come.

Fabulous Spanish concert at the Villa Marina in the Isle of Man tonight. Just stunning!

Lucky enough to meet the amazing conductor and members of the orchestra having an Indian meal later on. Come back soon!

Came to see the "heroes of the silver screen" night on 29th of December. What a fantastic first experience of a live orchestra. I was blown away by how good it was. Loved every moment, and would recommend it to anybody.

An electrifying performance of the first two acts of Siegfried. Probably the best rendition of this I have ever seen, anywhere. Looking forward to Act III tomorrow and, an added bonus, none of Castorf’s crocodiles.

Brilliant use of the orchestra members by Siegfried’s side. Gobsmackingly good. Thank you

Always amazing, always thoroughly engaging. Never had any desire to see an orchestra live before I saw the Halle, now, I am thoroughly hooked.
