Hallé Archive Talk - Elgar and the Hallé (Part 1)

This is the first in a series of free talks delving in to the Hallé Archive and exploring the history of the Hallé Concerts Society.

At each event, the Hallé archive team will show items from the archive, sharing stories about the people who helped shape the Hallé over the decades and exploring the impact the Hallé has had on Manchester's music scene.

The topic of this presentation is Elgar and the Hallé and is the first in a two part series of talks on the famous Composer. On Friday 9th October, Hallé Archivist, Eleanor Roberts, will explore the connections between the composer Edward Elgar and the Hallé.

The talk is scheduled after the chamber music performance in Hallé St Peters. If attended the chamber music concert, please head upstairs to the Victoria Wood Hall afterwards to continue your visit to the Hallé.
