Based in Symphony Hall, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra gives over 150 concerts each year in Birmingham, the UK and around the world, playing music that ranges from classics to contemporary, film music and even symphonic disco. With a far-reaching community programme and a family of choruses and ensembles, it’s involved in every aspect of music-making in the Midlands. But at its centre is a team of 75 superb professional musicians, and a 100-year tradition of making the world’s greatest music, right here in the heart of Birmingham.

Story

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's education and community programme provides 75,000 opportunities for people to engage in music-making each year.

New Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla is deeply committed to music education and will personally lead at least one major educational project each year.  In 2016-17 she will be conducting four schools' concerts in for over 8,000 secondary school children.

“I wish that the Orchestra and I will find ways to plant a seed of desire for music in their hearts” Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla

As part of the CBSO's commitment that every young person growing up in Birmingham should have an opportunity to hear the orchestra performing live, each Year 7 child in a Birmingham state school will be offered a free ticket to a schools concert.  In January 2017, around 5,500 children will be attending as part of that scheme.

Join Mirga in investing in the future of music by supporting these concerts!
