Discover Birmingham’s diverse musical heritage
Few UK cities have produced music as diverse as Birmingham, from the reggae beats of UB40 to Black Sabbath's groundbreaking heavy-metal sound and Duran Duran's exuberant new-wave pop.
Whether residents are aware of it or not, each area has added to the diversity of the city's musical tradition. With their stunning 3D wooden relief maps, Musical Routes wants to bring it to life at 30 train stations throughout Birmingham. These one-of-a-kind artworks list each shown area's distinct cultural contribution, whether it be made by artists, record stores, venues, or recording studios.
Birmingham's concert hall is a true testament to the innovation and imagination that have gone into making the city what it is today. It's not just the best concert hall in the UK; many people consider it to be among the best in the entire world. It should not be missed due to its gorgeous auditorium and incredible, top-notch acoustics. It not only has some of the most renowned international orchestras, but it also features a lovely program presenting a wide range of musical genres, including jazz, rock, stand-up comedy, and more!
As a result, this magnificent structure truly has something to offer everyone, and given that it hosts performances of some kind practically every day of the year, it's well worth checking the schedule before making travel arrangements.
