Christmas at City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO)

About

Nobody does Christmas quite like the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Every year, the CBSO welcomes families and friends for a packed programme of events guaranteed to get everyone into the festive spirit. 

For younger children aged five and under, Notelets are a magical, musical way to start to the Season and a wonderful bitesize introduction to classical music. 

For older children, there are free craft activities, music from Frozen, The Polar Express, The Nutcracker and much more at the Winter Party, or a chance to stay up past bedtime and hear top West End vocalists singing the hit songs of Christmases gone by at A Swinging Christmas. The soundtrack to a lifetime of Christmas memories has never sounded better than live at Symphony Hall. 

For a traditional family get-together for all ages, Alan Titchmarsh is the celebrity host for A CBSO Choral Christmas. Dust off your Santa hats, untangle the tinsel, and join Birmingham’s massed choirs for timeless classics. This is an evening to relax and unwind amidst the busy-ness and bustle of present shopping and preparations. 

Whatever your age, there’s a special Christmas moment waiting for you with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
