Students from all levels on the Foundation Degree in Television Production undertook the televising of the
annual "Halle for Youth" concerts with the world-renowned Halle Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall in
Mannchester.
The concerts attempt to engage schoolchildren with the work of a symphony orchestra and have been
running annually since the era of Sir John Barbirolli - this was the third year we have televised them - live -
to a huge screen above the orchestra itself. For us, it represents a televisual challenge on a par with the
annual BBC Proms.
First year students operated cameras whilst second year students undertook the challenge of live multi-camera directing with each student working alongside musical specialists from the Halle to
devise a workable camera script for the occasion.
The Halle are keen to continue and extend the collaborative partnership in the coming years, with plans to live-webcast next year's concerts.
