Born to a musical family, Hallé studied in Paris and later taught and played there until musical life in the city was disrupted by the French Revolution of 1848. He then moved to England: first to London and subsequently to Manchester, where he founded his orchestra in 1858, remaining its conductor until his death in 1895.
