'On their 150th anniversary, we must congratulate the Hallé Orchestra for their continuing commitment to the arts in Manchester' - John Leech MP

February 8, 2008 3:00 PM

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 and firmly puts Manchester on the map for classical music. It is the longest running professional symphony orchestra in Britain and has attracted some of the very best musicians to our city to perform with them, including the late great Luciano Pavarotti.

'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.'

    If you are a resident of the Manchester, Withington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
