Now Hear This with the Hallé is a unique concert specially designed to offer thousands of children on the Whole Class Ensemble Teaching programme the opportunity to play and sing with an international symphony orchestra.

This year’s theme is One Small Step for Man, inspired by Neil Armstrong and the Moon landings, exploring amazing worlds in space through music from across the galaxies. Our journey into Space includes two instrumental pieces to play along with, two songs to sing and a dance piece to get you moving. Young musicians experience the power of a symphony orchestra first hand, as well as being a part of it.

Working with schools through the Inspire Nottinghamshire Music Hub, Now Hear This with the Hallé is a concert for Key Stage 2 children singing or learning a musical instrument at Primary Schools, Independent Schools or in Home Education. This concert presents a variety of music which enables collaboration between the world-class musicians of the Hallé and young instrumentalists at the start of their musical journey.
