CBSO adds grime stars to its roster

CBSO adds grime stars to its roster

From the Times newspaper today:

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) is teaming up with the city’s grime and hip-hop artists for workshops and a concert next year as it attempts to create a “new type of concert performance” and lure new audiences to orchestral music….

Emma Stenning, the chief executive of the CBSO, said it was launching a “listening project” in 2025 that would, among other things, establish the extent of the desire among potential audiences to relax rules and allow widespread use of phones in the concert hall.

You may think that. We couldn’t possibly comment.
