Halle Orchestra names new leader

The Manchester orchestra has appointed Emily Davis-Robb as co-leader (concertmaster) alongside Roberto Ruisi.

She has been, until now, concertmaster of the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra in Norway.

She says: ‘Thrilled (and very humbled) to share this news and call Manchester my new second home – 17 years after leaving Chets, I’m so happy to be back working in this city with this fabulous orchestra I grew up watching.’
