Hallé Orchestra’s Assistant Conductor, Jamie Phillips, interviewed

Jamie Phillips is the youngest person to hold the post of Assistant Conductor of the Hallé Orchestra.

He will conduct the Hallé next week for Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.6 ‘Pathétiqué, “one of the great swansongs in musical history. From dark beginnings, full of foreboding, it proceeds via an uneasy waltz and a far-from triumphal march to a closure of near-unbearable poignancy.”

Jamie was interviewed today by Sheffield Live! presenter Dale Le Fevre on our Communities Live programme.
