Birmingham Music
One of the UK's leading symphony orchestras, a conservatoire training the next generation, and the concert hall that hosts both — Birmingham's classical music infrastructure in one place.
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra is genuinely one of the UK's major orchestras, not a regional footnote; Royal Birmingham Conservatoire trains the musicians who go on to play in ensembles like it; B:Music operates the Town Hall and Symphony Hall that give both a room to perform in. This is a small, serious cluster rather than a discipline spread thin.
