B:Music announces new programme of live music at Symphony Hall café
Birmingham music charity B:Music has launched a Lunch: Unplugged series featuring a series of live music performances at the symphony call café.
The acoustic performances will be held at 1pm during lunchtime slots at the B:Eats cafe on various dates between September and November. Attendance is completely free.
Nestled within the world-renowned Symphony Hall and overlooking the vibrant Centenary Square, B:Eats has been enriching the heart of Birmingham since its opening in the summer of 2022.
B:Eats is now a celebration of local flavours and culture a menu brimming with feel-good favourites, including ‘The Home of the Brummie Bacon Cake’.
Every purchase made at B:Eats directly supports B:Music, the charity behind Birmingham’s Town Hall and Symphony Hall.
Each cup of coffee, sandwich, or piece of cake that is bought helps B:Music in its mission to nurture the next generation of creative talent, both on and off stage, while also maintaining these iconic venues.
Nicole Evans, director of commercial services at B:Music said, “We understand how challenging it can be to unplug during lunchtimes and resist the temptation to opt for a supermarket meal deal so you can keep working through lunch, or even to grab a quick handful of biscuits between meetings.
“However, we believe that taking a proper break is crucial.
“Not only does it enhance focus for the rest of the day, but it also allows us to reconnect with our community and colleagues by stepping out into the city.
“If you're working locally, consider visiting B:Eats at Symphony Hall, where we offer exclusive lunchtime deals just for you!
“B:Eats serves a delightful daytime menu featuring classic dishes with contemporary twists. Additionally, you can enjoy free lunchtime concerts, supporting some of the finest local emerging artists while savouring a delicious meal.
“All our food is freshly prepared, and with a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, there's truly something for everyone to enjoy!”
