We inspire a love of live music, through performance, participation and learning across Birmingham and beyond.

We believe that music is essential to everyone and has the power to transform and change lives, to entertain and uplift, to create shared experiences and to educate.

B:Next

We support the next generation of creative people (on and off stage); ardently overcoming any barriers to access.

We create opportunities for young curious minds to develop a love of live music; providing educational opportunities to develop their talents and interest. We work with our local communities to find and support artists to take that next step in their career

We are a space where artists can come together, share and pitch ideas, and we act as an incubator to support the development of those ideas

B:Together

Through bringing together two iconic, world class venues, Town Hall and Symphony Hall, we bring together a wide variety of music genres, performance set ups and production.

We bring together the diverse communities of Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond; to develop talent and share skills, to combat isolation and loneliness and to work collaboratively to ensure the best results for our communities.

We work in partnership with local Music Education Hubs to support teaching and learning in music with schools, and work with local colleges and universities.

B:Custodians

We are responsible for two iconic venues, Town Hall and Symphony Hall, protecting their immense and important history for future generations to enjoy.

From raising £12m for Making an Entrance, creating a new stage, hosting rooms, B:Eats and welcoming foyers in Symphony Hall in 2021 to preserving the memories of suffragette and anti-slavery meetings at Town Hall, creating live music experiences for schoolchildren in Ladywood, Nelson Mandela and Bruce Springsteen to enjoy equally, and creating stages to shine a spotlight on local artists, international orchestras and global superstars: Our venues hold the heritage of Birmingham and we commit to preserving and creating their stories.
