Come and Play with the Hallé concerts offer thousands of families the opportunity to experience a very special performance by the Halle and to listen to children from around Tameside play and sing with an international symphony orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall.

The Come and Play concerts present especially composed works which enable collaboration between the world-class musicians of the Hallé and young instrumentalists at the start of their musical journey. Arrangements and original material by Hallé Education Director, Steve Pickett, for the professional players and young people to share are presented alongside orchestral blockbusters ranging from film scores to famous classics. The children experience the power of a symphony orchestra at first hand.
