This is going to hurt them at the Hallé.

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, England’s oldest orchestra, are about to appoint a new Director of Choirs and Singing in succession to Ian Tracey, who is stepping down after 38 years.

The new chorus chief is to be Matthew Hamilton, Choral Director at the Hallé since 2015.

In terms of orchestra rivalry, this is equivalent to Marcus Rashford moving to Anfield.

Matthew is also music director of New London Chamber Choir and former Associate Director of the London Symphony Chorus.

UPDATE: Apparently he will perform both jobs – in Manchester and Liverpool. That’d be beyond Rashford’s capacities.
