KS2 Concerts
The CBSO provides annual concerts at Symphony Hall for KS2 pupils. These concerts feature the whole of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, an amazing spectacle itself, but in the awe-inspiring surroundings of Symphony Hall these concerts are sure to have a lasting impact on pupils (and teachers!) attending.
The aim of each of these concerts is to provide pupils with a snapshot of the diversity of an orchestra's repertoire and soundworlds, from classical music to film soundtracks; slow meditative works to high-energy, percussion-focused pieces - these concerts have it all.
Tickets for KS2 concerts are priced at £6 per person, with 2 free tickets for organisers of groups of 20+. There is a £3 transaction fee per booking.

The CBSO is 100 years old this year, and that makes us want to party! So for one incredible afternoon, we’re exploring 100 years of music from all over the …
"I just wanted to pass on the extremely positive feedback from our Year 4 class who attended this concert this afternoon; the staff thought it was excellent, well thought-out and really engaging; they thought the way you got the children up and moving between performances was great to keep them energised; loved the way aspects of music were explained; and they report that the children were mesmerised and really enthusiastic."
Prior to your visit you could have a visit from a CBSO musician to introduce pupils to the orchestra and help prepare them for the concert.
