The Hallé’s dedicated set works concert, ‘The Orchestra Through the Ages’, has been created in collaboration with teachers and music educators across the country to provide a unique resource for pupils studying GCSE and A-level music.

‘The Orchestra Through the Ages’ takes pupils on a guided tour of music from the Renaissance to the twenty first century. Featuring a number of orchestral pieces from the AQA, OCR, Eduqas and Edexcel syllabi for GCSE and A-level music, the concert demonstrates the development of the symphony orchestra with a brief history and musical analysis of some key pieces.

  • 2027 date TBC

All tickets £7.75 each (including accompanying adults).

This concert is presented in collaboration with The Bridgewater Hall.

We advise to arrive 45 minutes prior to the concert start time. Running time approximately 75 minutes.

 

Please note, although we aim to include as many pieces as possible from a range of exam boards, we cannot guarantee that every piece requested will be programmed each year. The concerts will still be useful to all GCSE and A-level pupils as they will demonstrate the growth of the orchestra and provide useful analysis of key periods in musical history. We look forward to welcoming you to these unique concerts where students who are enthusiastic about music can join together.
