John Leech MP Salutes Manchester's Treasurer Hallé Orchestra
John Leech MP has backed a Parliamentary Motion to recognise the importance of the 150th anniversary of Manchester's Hallé Orchestra.
Liberal Democrat MP for Manchester Withington, John Leech, said:
"The Hallé is a world class institution that puts Manchester firmly on the map for classical music. It is the longest running professional symphony orchestra in Britain. The Hallé continues to attract the world's greatest musicians to Manchester to perform with them."
"The orchestra also does much outreach work in the community, for example, running music and drama workshops for children whose education in the arts is only just beginning."
