Hallé Family Concert
Hallé Family ConcertPresented by Saffron Hall
Come and join The Hallé for an action-packed afternoon of music that takes us from ancient queens to intergalactic princess’ and everything in-between!
With music and our imaginations, we’ll bring to life bull fighters and boatswains; time travellers and trailblazers; protesters and pleasure gardens. There will be movement, storytelling and singing in the most spectacular family extravaganza. You are never to young (or old) to experience your first full symphony orchestra live!
