We welcome multi-Grammy-nominated composer, Miho Hazama, to the home of the CBSO for an electrifying evening of jazz, presented as part of Birmingham's annual Jazz & Blues Festival. Hazama joins forces with an ensemble of CBSO musicians and a stellar band, starring saxophonist and friend of the CBSO, Soweto Kinch, alongside Tom Farmer, Sharne Forbes and Ivo Neame. From Hazama's original compositions to the works of jazz legends Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk, this performance takes audiences on a thrilling journey through jazz - past and present.
