About This Concert

Young musicians from the Greater Manchester Music Hub will perform alongside, and supported by, musicians from the celebrated Hanover Band.

This performance is the culmination of three weekend workshops across the region, and a weekend residency at Chetham’s School of Music, in which students from all areas of Greater Manchester have taken part. The students have learned about historical performance practice, trying out new techniques and experimenting with musical expression. The musical director for the project, and conductor in today’s concert, is Stephen Threlfall.

Bringing to life the sounds of history was a central vision of The Band’s founder, Caroline Brown. But so too was the desire to pass on that passion to future generations. Educating the classical musicians of tomorrow forms a substantive part of The Band’s work.

Throughout 2020 youth orchestras across the UK will be coached to perform Beethoven symphonies. The Beethoven Youth Orchestras project will give up to 600 young musicians aged 11-18 the opportunity to learn from and play with principal players from a professional orchestra, inspiring a passion for Beethoven.
