Halle Orchestra 150th Birthday Concert

Petroc Trelawny presents a concert from Manchester's Bridgwater Hall celebrating 150 years since the first of Mr Charles Halle's Grand Orchestral Concerts.

The programme includes a work that Halle himself played on that auspicious occasion - Weber's Konzertstuck for piano and orchestra - as well as works by Lambert, Elgar and Ades that the orchestra premiered.
