The Halle
Hallé Orchestra Adopt a Player
Once again in 2011 we have worked with the Hallé Orchestra and the Bridgewater Hall on the ‘Adopt a player’ programme. The initiative includes students from the MEA and children from Crossacres, Ringway and Peel Primary Schools.
Musicians held interactive lessons in the schools demonstrating instruments and giving hands on opportunities as well as helping to understand the story of the music. The highlight for many was to attend a concert at the Bridgewater Hall, to be welcomed by the players, introduced to the audience and enjoy the music. Further sessions after the concert the players culminate in a performance based on the music for friends and family at the MEA. In addition to the learning associated with the music, this project is a wonderful transition tool for children and parents as well as a showcase for the talent of all of the performers.
