CONCERT 'VOICES AND VISIONS'

Professional and student performers from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and the Selly Park Singers join forces to support the Birmingham & Midland Institute to raise money for the Building/Library fund and the charity: Street Banquet Birmingham.

The Concert will celebrate the start of the festive season and also explore the meaning of Christmas from different perspectives and narratives through song and the spoken word. Pieces performed include works by Vivaldi/Forbes L'estrange, Karl Jenkins, Gjeilo, Finzi, Tavener, Blake, Dickens.

BMI’s Philosopher-in-residence Br. Piran-María will reflect on themes of winter and renewal - exploring how the stories of Christmas from Dickens to the nativity - reveal the human search for hope, harmony, and new beginnings.

Donations will be collected during and at the end of the concert.

Refreshments, including tea, coffee and mulled wine will be available.
