You can enjoy live music for free from the internationally-acclaimed City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra this Summer at a location near you – possibly on your street.

CBSO in The City is a series of free Summer concerts in public places including:

Ikon Gallery – on Thursday 24 July

Library of Birmingham – on Friday 25 July

And the orchestra is giving Brummies the chance to nominate their street or nieghbourhood for a pop-up performance later this year. If you’d like to nominate your neck of the woods to host a performance and you have a Birmingham postcode, you can Nominate Your Street by 1 August 2025.
