B:Music's second collaboration with Abbey Road Studios and its Music Photography Accelerator programme.

B:Music are delighted to announce a month-long programme of activity from 10 June to 7 July. Centered around two exhibitions across Symphony Hall, both with a shared vision of celebrating music photography, culture and community.

There will be an exhibition of the winning and shortlisted images from Abbey Road Music Photography Awards 2024, offering an opportunity to view the photographs in a distinctive setting, alongside a Birmingham-specific exhibition curated by Jason Sheldon (former Abbey Road MPA finalist). Storytelling sits at the heart of both exhibitions through visual imagery creating a vibrant and reflective space to celebrate music photography, and the photographers behind the lens.

Jacquie Lindsay, Programme Manager at Abbey Road Music Photography Accelerator said: “We couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with B:Music once again this year to extend the reach of our Music Photography Accelerator programme and Music Photography Awards beyond the doors of Abbey Road Studios and into the heart of Birmingham. "

Chris Proctor, Head of Programming at B:Music added: “This is the second year of the relationship between B:Music and Abbey Road Studios, and I’m delighted that we are working together again to bring the Music Photography Awards exhibition back to Birmingham. This year we are adding even more to the programme of activity and offering a second exhibition which shines a light on music photography and culture in Birmingham – the photographers, the artists, the spaces, and the community.
