SIR CHARLES HALLE 1819-1895

A German by birth, Charles Hallé was born in Hagen, Westphalia, the son of a church organist. By the age of nine he was demonstrably skilled in playing the piano, and at this age he gave his first public performance. He studied under the German masters Rinck and Gottfried Weber, before moving to Paris where he was to live for several years. In Paris he came to know many famous composers and performers, including Chopin, Lizst, Berlioz and Wagner, and his time was happy there until the Revolution of 1848 forced him to move to England.
Initially he lived in London where he gave several successful concerts, but he moved eventually to Manchester, largely on account of the large resident German population in the city. He moved into a house in Greenheys Lane in Manchester and it was to remain his home for the rest of his life. Apart from the piano, Hallé had become a teacher and a much respected conductor, and his despair at the poor quality of musical performances in the city drove him to take steps to improve it. Through teaching and conducting he gradually improved Manchester's music until in 1857 he was able to form his own orchestra, which became known as the Hallé Orchestra.
A frequent performer himself at home, he also travelled to perform in Australia and London. He helped found the Royal College of Music in Manchester and was its first president. It was through this institution that he was able to seek out, promote and co-opt talented performers into his orchestra. He also founded the St Cecilia Society, conducted operas and introduced into England the work of his personal friend, Berlioz.
He was awarded an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters by Edinburgh University in 1880 and was made a knight in 1880. He died in 1895 and is buried in the Roman Catholic section of Salford Cemetery.
