The human voice, in all its colour, virtuosity and daring is the focus of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group’s annual day of Family Concerts at the CBSO Centre, Birmingham.

The concerts are for children aged seven+ and their parents, and their aim is to introduce contemporary music in a refreshingly direct way, completely re-inventing the traditional idea of the concert. Since their inception, the concerts have won widespread praise for their playful and fearless presentation, introducing their young audiences to today’s iconic composers from Birtwistle to Zenakis.

This year's fundraising concert is the fourth such event organised by The Art Room, a locally based educational charity.

This year's extravaganza consists of Handel's "ZADOK THE PRIEST", Haydn's "NELSON MASS" and Mozart's "REQUIEM".

Milkshake Live! reinvents the carol concert for a new generation at some of the finest concert halls in the country this Christmas, with the magical sound of the British Philharmonic Orchestra playing a wide range of classical and yuletide favourites accompanied by Rupert Bear, Peppa Pig, Little Princess, Fifi Forget-Me-Not, Mr. Bump and Noddy.

'Tis the season to be jolly with this concert of festive music and children's popular songs. This interactive concert is designed especially for 3-5 year olds and their families, with CBSO musicians, lasting around 45 minutes. There are two concerts on this day, one at 11am and one at 2pm.

Step into a Winter Wonderland with the Philharmonia Orchestra players as they guide you through festive favourites in a fun, interactive concert for all the family. With free craft and percussion workshops taking place before the concert at 10.15am and 11am, and free-for-all craft activities from 10.15am, there's something for everyone. Why not get into the holiday spirit early and come dressed as a snowman, angel or even a jolly Santa?

We hope you'll join us at this very popular annual concert, which has music for all the family.
Whether you enjoy football or rugby, ice dancing or the full Olympic experience, you can indulge your passion in this year's concert which brings you music with a sporting theme.
Highlights include Ravel's Bolero, Nessun Dorma, the Rugby World Cup Theme (Jupiter from The Planets), music from Chariots of Fire, and the Olympic Fanfare and Theme by John Williams.
