Peak perfection! Sir Mark’s back and hitting the rarified Alpine heights with a summit storming @the_halle delivering a journey of pure exhilaration, packed full of visceral thrills. A revelation from Richard Strauss, a wave to the Royal Gallery and an unrivalled evening of world class Mancunian music making! #Alpine #Symphony #RichardStrauss #SirMarkElder #Hallé #Orchestra #Manchester #musicmaking #worldclass @BridgewaterHall

What a night! Bidding farewell to the legendary Sir Mark Elder after 22 extraordinary years with emotional chords of Rachmaninov & Mahler that brought down the house! @the_halle enchants Nottingham one last time under Elder's baton.

A terrible loss. Thinking of Kate and Archie's family at this heartbreaking time. It seems that every arts organisation in Manchester I've ever had anything to do with has been touched by Kate's hard work, vision and generosity. What a legacy ❤️

All of us at the Hallé received the terrible and tragic news of the sudden death of Kate Vokes and her son Archie with deep sadness. We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Kate and Archie at this terribly sad and difficult time.
All of us at the Hallé received the terrible and tragic news of the sudden death of Kate Vokes and her son Archie with deep sadness. Kate was an inspiration and a true champion of culture and the Oglesby Family as a whole have reshaped Manchester and beyond in so many significant and important ways. A genuine enthusiast, Kate entered all partnerships with energy and conviction and was an immensely generous and kind philanthropist and an engaged and enlightened advocate for the arts. Kate invested time and energy working in partnership with us to improve and sustain our work helping to continue the immense legacy the Oglesby Family generated when they helped us found the Hallé Youth Orchestra and three Youth Choirs over 20 years ago. Amongst many other projects that have benefited from Kate and the Trust’s help, include maintaining free access for every child across the North West and Yorkshire to access world class tuition and orchestral and singing experience; a significant legacy n

I have always been told to surround myself with people better than me. This week, I watched my boyfriend open a show on the West End, and my best friend perform Stravinsky violin concerto with The Hallé. What a joy to celebrate them, and a privilege to learn from them every day.
