City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO)

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra operates a wide and varied programme of education activities in pre-school, school, HE and community settings. The programme is built around the three principles of enabling young people and new audiences to experience live quality orchestral music, providing creative music making opportunities for people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds and supporting the development of young and non-professional musicians. The CBSO works with a variety of artistic and funding partners to deliver this programme, including the Birmingham City Council and other local education authorities, professional artists in other arts media, Creative Partnerships and schools supported by other arts initiatives, community organisations and higher education establishments.
