Youth Ensembles Administrator

The Youth Ensembles Administrator reports to the Ensembles Manager. They are responsible for organising and delivering the work of the Halle’s Ensembles for teenage musicians, specifically the Youth Choir, Youth Training Choir and Youth Orchestra.

They will work under the direction of the Ensembles Manager and in close collaboration with the Ensembles artistic and administrative teams. Administrative tasks will facilitate the smooth running of rehearsals, auditions, projects, performances and tours, and practical responsibilities will include safeguarding, pastoral care, project delivery on the day and being the first point of contact for people of all ages on behalf of the Halle.

The Ensembles family sits within the Halle Connect team.
Halle Connect covers all of the Halle’s work away from the formal concert platform, working across the whole community from schools to care homes, nurturing young talent and bringing music in its broadest terms to those who may not attend the concert hall. Halle musicians work in various settings across Greater Manchester and beyond, releasing creativity and raising aspirations through very accessible and practical projects.
