Last year I was honoured to be asked by St George’s Hall to be Patron of the Bradford International Orchestral Season 2012/13. I am delighted

that they have kindly honoured me once again by asking if I would extend my patronage to include the forthcoming season, 2013/14.

Pass on your passion for classical music

It is always a pleasure to return to Bradford with its wonderful hall. The relationship between the Hallé

and your city reaches back over a century to the era of Charles Hallé himself, and is something the players andI are particularly proud of.
