Join us for the perfect event to kick-start the festival season this summer!

We're bringing audiences a festival experience with a classical twist and a dash of CBSO flair. Hosted at Digbeth Dining Club's Herbert's Yard, this edition of Symphonic Sessions offers the multi-genre experience that festival-goers love.

The evening begins on the Discovery Stage with an eclectic selection of new works for you to explore, ranging from Caroline Shaw to Max Richter, followed by a chance to sit back and relax with the Chill Stage. Finally, enjoy the Feel-Good Stage featuring music by a range of composers, from Haydn to Charli XCX - you're guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face!

As always, you can pair the performance with a delicious meal from an on-site food vendor or a drink from the well-stocked bars. This time it's delicious wings and strips from Greidy's, and mouth-watering Argentinian dishes from Banquet 1415! Plus, local DJ Chris Goodchild will be performing between sets to keep the mood going.

Doors open at 5:30pm with bar service and food available (last orders for food by 7:15pm). Live music from 7:30pm.
