This event is in the past.

The success story of the internationally acclaimed City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra began in 1920 with the very first symphonic concert conducted by Sir Edward Elgar. Its rise to international fame was sealed with the discovery of the young Simon Rattle. His successors, Andris Nelsons and Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, helped consolidate its global reputation.

“Some classical concerts just meander along tepidly. Evenings with Fazıl Say, by contrast, are always exciting – true marvels full of surprises: The Turkish multi-talent on the keyboard is a gifted music mediator and a captivating musical storyteller with a sense of drama and poetry.” (MM 10/23)
