A Musical Heritage

University Music

• Daniele Rosina conductor

• Bob Chilcott conductor

• Jack Apperley conductor

The University of Birmingham has played a key role in the musical life of the City, with notable composers such as Edward Elgar and Granville Bantock leading the Department of Music in its early years. We celebrate this rich musical heritage with a performance from the University Philharmonic Orchestra, Birmingham University Singers, and University Upper Voices in Birmingham Town Hall. Hear music from University composers and a selection of composers with whom the University is proud to hold strong creative connections.

Presented as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival
