Festival

Chetham`s at 50

From January to December 2019, we’ll be celebrating Chetham’s – its people, its stories, and its next fifty years.

Programme

Paul Hindemith: Symphonic Metamorphosis after Themes by Carl Maria von Weber

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Op.35

Igor Stravinsky: Petrushka

Overview

Chetham’s alumnus Paul Mann – former Assistant Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, and noted for his musicality, versatility and breadth of repertoire – conducts the School’s flagship orchestra in Petrushka, Stravinsky’s ballet burlesque, animating the lives and loves of a puppet trio and the revelry of Mardi Gras.

Preceding the symphony will be Tchaikovsky’s only violin concerto, its lyrical, folk inspired solo part performed by 15 year old Yixuan Ren, a winner of Chetham’s 2019 Concerto Auditions; and Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphoses, begun as an arrangement for ballet and developed into a more complex and contrasting symphonic work.

Venue Info

The Stoller Hall - Manchester
Hunts Bank

The Stoller Hall is situated in Chetham’s new School building, which opened in 2012. A void was deliberately left in the shell of the building for a planned concert hall, with the assumption that years of fundraising still lay ahead before that could become a reality.

The Stoller Hall boasts many innovative features, from the ability to separate public and performance areas from the day-to-day operations of the school to an adaptable extending stage that creates space for a full symphony orchestra in rehearsal or recording.

The Hall’s stunning visual design meant that it was named one of the 49 best new buildings in the UK by RIBA in 2017.
