PBL is the charitable trust that manages Town Hall Symphony Hall (THSH) as part of two iconic venues at the heart of Birmingham. Together they present an exciting and varied programme designed to appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds to music from jazz, folk, world, roots and classical, to rock and pop.

THSH welcomes over half a million people to around 800 concerts and events every year. With a committed approach to the local community, we connect over 13,000 young people and adults to a world of music with our broad and exciting education, community and talent development programme.

These will be performed at Symphony Hall on Thursday 19 July 2018, as part of our annual Generation Ladywood Showcase.
