ROYAL BIRMINGHAM CONSERVATOIRE’S STUNNING AUTUMN SEASON
It might just be Birmingham’s best kept cultural secret: Royal Birmingham Conservatoire has one of the most extensive, truly affordable, performance series in Birmingham. The range is as large as it is eclectic and the quality always top notch.
Coming up this autumn, look out for guest stars and exceptional student performers, free Monday lunchtime recitals, a brand new organ, Shakespearean classics and music of every kind.
Among the superb visitors are folk music royalty Fairport Convention, stunning classical strings and African beats from Manchester Collective & Abel Selaocoe and Hans Zimmer’s ‘Interstellar’ soundtracks brought to life by the Mystery Ensemble.
A week-long festival welcomes the Conservatoire’s brand new ‘Juliet’ organ, while a season of French music begins with a large-scale Berlioz rarity plus Beethoven’s mighty Fifth Symphony, played by RBC Symphony Orchestra. There’s also a mini-residency by newly-appointed Master of the King’s Music Errollyn Wallen.
There are tie-ups with city arts partners too. Hayley Frances, poet in residence at Birmingham Children’s and Women’s Hospital, appears as part of Birmingham Literature Festival and there’s ‘doom jazz’ from Supersonic Festival guests Bohren & Der Club of Gore.
RBC’s flagship Jazz Orchestra and Salsa Orchestra bring fresh talent, high spirits and cool sounds to Eastside Jazz Club in their regular slots; and leading guest artists include the Patrick Cornelius Quartet, and Ronnie Scott’s Artistic Director James Pearson and leading jazz trumpeter Steve Fishwick.
Over at The Crescent, October sees the RBC Theatre Company perform contemporary drama and comedy, while two of the greatest Shakespearian tragedies, Julius Caesar and Macbeth, follow in December.
