Classical music is getting a surprise twist this summer as the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra brings its CBSO in the City series back to Brum—with a lineup of free pop-up performances in some delightfully unexpected places.
Throughout the season, you might stumble across a brass quartet nestled in the blooms at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, catch the sounds of Star Wars and Brahms bouncing through New Street Station, or even hear a clarinet trio mid-journey on the West Midlands Metro.
There’s also a space-themed family adventure taking over the Library of Birmingham, string quartets setting the tone at the Ikon Gallery, and more musical moments tucked into canals, museums, and hidden corners all over the city.
No tickets, no fuss—just turn up and enjoy top-notch orchestral music in the heart of your city. It’s all about making classical music accessible, informal, and right on your doorstep.
While most performances are completely free and unticketed, a few do take place in venues that require general admission (like the Botanical Gardens, Black Country Living Museum, and Royal Birmingham Society of Artists).
