Halle 's Other Project, the creation of the Royal Manchester College of Music was very well attended and the efforts of the members in promoting the Group were rewarded by 5 new members joining up for the rest of the season.
The next meeting on Thursday, March 10 will be presented by Michael Howard who is a very popular speaker.  He will be discussing the Redemptive Power of Art and how art can enable the discovery or rediscovery of the joy of being alive.
As usual, non members are very welcome and the presentation starts at 7.30 pm at the United Reform Church

Spring 2016

February 11th: The Victoria and Albert Museum: An Insider's View
What lies behind that grand facade? Anthony Burton reveals what someone who works there can discover. He goes on to consider the exhibits - what the visitors see - and explains their growth
and significance, and the museum's changing ways of presenting them. Finally, he considers some colourful V&A personalities.

February 25th: Hallé’s Other Project
The Royal Manchester College of MusicThe name of Charles Hallé is synonymous with the orchestra he established in Manchester in 1858, but the Hallé Orchestra is not his only legacy to the city. Drawing on contemporary letters and documents, Geoff Thomason explores the events leading to the creation of the Royal Manchester College of Music in 1893 – a journey which was by no means without its problems and setbacks.

March 10th: The Redemptive Power of Art
The best art, whether by Rembrandt, Monet, Matisse or your child or grandchild is about discovering or re-discovering the joy of being alive and of making our world better for all. It is not a placebo or escape - but a necessity.
Presented by Michael Howard with apologies to Carl Sagan.

March 17th: The Lunchbox (2013)
‘Dabba’ (original title)
A mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young unhappy housewife to an older man approaching retirement. They build a fantasy world together through exchanging notes in the daily lunchbox. This film illustrates how love transforms the unlikeliest of people.
‘One of the best films to come out of India in a long time.’ Quote by film critic Karan Anshuman of the Mumbai Mirror.

April 7th: Ethical choices in Jane Austen's 'Emma'
Jane Austen's Emma is celebrating its 200th birthday. It was published in December 1815, with 1816 on the title - page.  Dr. W. Hutchings will explore this great novel, with particular attention to its humour, its style and its investigation of ethical choices.
