Following on from the success of Hallé SHINE on Manchester’s creative music programme, which from 2012 to 2018 impacted the lives of over 2000 children and its benefits recognised by schools and families across the region, we are delighted to bring Hallé Inspire to the Hallé’s Core Programme.

Every year we run a project for one selected primary school in each of the ten Greater Manchester boroughs.

The schools (nominated by their local music services) are invited to choose two KS2 classes to take part and receive a series of creative music workshops. Two Hallé musicians work with the classes to create a piece of music based on a curriculum topic chosen by the school. The pupils and musicians perform their new music in school at the end of the series of workshops. Some of our previous projects have explored the water cycle, volcanoes, Anglo-Saxons, Ancient Egyptians, and travelling through France.
