ANNOUNCEMENT

A NEW CHAPTER
REPRESENTED BY
HENNESSEY BROWN MUSIC

I'm thrilled to be joining the Hennessey Brown Music roster.

It's the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I'm looking forward to everything it brings. New collaborations, new audiences, and a shared belief in the power of music to connect people.

Jonny Hennessey-Brown, Founding Director, Hennessey Brown Music

Most importantly, Peter brings passion for music, educating the musicians of tomorrow, and true expertise — such an under-valued commodity in the world today."

— Jonny Hennessey-Brown, Founding Director, Hennessey Brown Music

"Maestro Manning's insatiable curiosity for new artistic horizons of all kinds will make him an incredible asset to any institution looking to revitalise and invigorate their audiences. It is with enthusiastic support that I recommend conductor Peter Manning."

There is an almost palpable forcefield of energy around Peter Manning…his relish for a challenge, for fresh stimuli, is voracious.’
