The Hallé Choir was founded alongside the Hallé Orchestra in 1858 by Sir Charles Hallé.[1] The choir gives around twenty concerts a year with the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall and other venues across the UK. Appearing with international conductors and soloists in concert and recordings, the choir performs a repertoire of major choral and operatic works ranging from mainstream pieces to more esoteric pieces and commissions.[2] James Burton was choral director from April 2002 to July 2009.
The Hallé Choir has received critical acclaim for performances with Elder, including a Verdi centenary programme at the BBC Proms and performances of Haydn's The Creation, J.S. Bach's St John Passion and Janáček's Glagolitic Mass. [citation needed] The Hallé's CD label features the choir on its releases, English Rhapsody, Hallé Christmas Classics and Elgar: A Self-Portrait.[3] Recent Hallé Choir Directors have included James Burton,Frances Cooke and Madeleine Venner.[4] The current Hallé Choir Director is Matthew Hamilton.[citation needed]
