| The Future As well as building on our achievements and continuing to offer the successful projects described in these pages, we can see a whole range of exciting possibilities opening up in the future. We want: To continue our work with young people including those with special needs. To offer exciting and stimulating daytime activity to older people. To bring as many people of all ages and backgrounds in contact with The Bridgewater Hall and offer a range of quality experiences including music, dance, creative writing, new technology and architecture. Singing There are great opportunities to develop singing in the Hall in many different forms and involving many different styles and cultures. We intend to develop partnerships with, amongst others, the Royal College of Organists and local music services. World music We are keen to develop world music and to give a diverse range of people the chance to experience and enjoy a wide range of music and cultures from across the globe including folk, klezmer, jazz, South Asia and China. Building on the tremendous success of our Organized! concerts, where we provided an entertaining and unusual introduction to the organ aimed at children aged 7-11 and their parents, we would like to establish a programme of high quality performances in the Barbirolli Room for 3-7 year olds and their parents. We feel not enough opportunities exist for very young children to become familiar with the world of professional music, dance and theatre and believe that the Trust has a role to play in this area. Daytime activities for the older community We would also like to stage daytime concerts for older people, given by young performers such as students from Chetham's School of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music. We also intend to continue to work with the Royal College of Organists in developing new and exciting opportunities with the community to appreciate and develop their understanding of our wonderful organ. Talks, lectures and tours Demand continues unabated for talks about the life and construction of The Bridgewater Hall and tours of the Hall continue to be as popular as ever. This remains a very necessary and worthwhile part of the Trust's activities. |
