I am very much looking forward to next year's Halle concerts - and the BBC Philharmonic's.
On March 14th, Stanislaw Skrowaczwski is to conduct a programme of Lutoslawski and Shostakovich. Skrowaczewski was the Principal conductor of The Halle who did a great deal to increase my musical knowledge and appreciation during his time in Manchester. He will be 89 in October this year, by far the oldest conductor that I will ever have ever seen conduct. He last conducted The Halle in the 2009/10 season when he was 86.
Have any posters seen a conductor older than this and who is the oldest conductor you have seen?
