Manchester's orchestras and ensembles are collaborating on a weekend of music at The Bridgewater Hall. Manchester Classical, on 24 and 25 June 2023, celebrates the city's rich musical heritage with a weekend of concerts, free performances, family activities and more. Manchester Classical will feature the Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata, Manchester Collective, Psappha, the Hallé choirs, students from the Royal Northern College of Music and a host of guest artists. There will be hour-long concerts throughout the weekend on the main stage with free performances in the foyers and The Barbirolli Room.
The BBC Philharmonic, conductors Anja Bihlmaier and Joshua Weilerstein, give three concerts over the weekend, performing Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and Romanian Folk Dances, Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony (The Bonds of Africa), Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade and Kodály’s Dances of Galánta. The Hallé, conductors Kahchun Wong and Delyana Lazarova, give two concerts featuring Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and John Harle’s Briggflatts with saxophonist Jess Gillam.
The Manchester Collective's programme will include Steve Reich's Double Sextet, whilst the Manchester Camerata and violinist Daniel Pioro's late-night concert moves from sonic meditation for orchestra to two newly orchestrated works from Pioro’s recently released album, Saint Boy. Contemporary music ensemble, Psappha will be giving an intimate concert in The Barbirolli Room.
