The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra is committed to supporting and developing the musical education of children and young people, building their skills as creators and performers, expanding their musical interests and experiences, and inspiring a lifelong appreciation of live performance.

We deliver over 300 creative workshops and performances every year in schools in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. In addition, we give annual Key Stage concerts at Symphony Hall and Relaxed concerts for Special School pupils at the fully accessible CBSO Centre.

The CBSO also provides heavily subsidised tickets for schools to all our main season Birmingham concerts - so why not bring a group of students to experience a concert: with repertoire ranging from Harry Potter to Beethoven, and from orchestral rock to qawwali, there really is something for every musical taste and interest.
Summaries of our offers are included in this pack, and more information can be found online at cbso.co.uk/education.
