Town Hall and Symphony Hall reveals Spring programme

B:Music, the Birmingham music charity responsible for Symphony Hall and Town Hall, has launched its new Spring programme for 2025 which includes comedy, live music, dance and spoken-word on its two world-famous stages.

The new season showcases an array of performances - from West End and Broadway star John Barrowman to critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot.

Live music performances include Mercury Prize-winning Badly Drawn Boy and Chris de Burgh, who will grace the Town Hall and Symphony Hall stages in March.

And April sees the multi-Platinum selling and Ivor Novello-winning David Gray, as well as Olly Alexander performing chart-topping hits and fan favourites. 

The award-winning Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company presents Art of Andalucia, a stunning new show that places Flamenco dance at the forefront.

Accompanied by live music and vocals, this promises to be an unmissable Flamenco experience on the Town Hall stage (7 February).

Join Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia as they celebrate the ballets of the legendary Frederick Ashton, creator of works such as La Fille mal gardée, The Dream, Enigma Variations and A Month in the Country - the foundations of the British ballet repertory.

The company’s world-class dancers will perform some of the highlights from favourite Ashton ballets on the Symphony Hall stage (15 February).

Giovanni Pernice is back in Birmingham in 2025 with his new live show, The Last Dance (22 February).

The 2021 Strictly Come Dancing champion and BAFTA winner will take to the Symphony Hall stage with his company of world class performers.

And having made a stunning return to the Strictly dancefloor, Amy Dowden, accompanied by fellow Strictly star Carlos Gu, will share an intimate portrait of their lives and journeys in their inspirational show Reborn, in which the transformative power of dance shines through (10 March).

For one night only, comedian Jason Manford is back at Symphony Hall with his new live show A Manford All Seasons (7 March).

These are just some of the highlights of the coming months.
