Symphonic Sessions return to Hockey Social

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) is returning to Hockley Social Club for a third time for its 'Symphonic Sessions '.

The event on Thursday 5 May has been billed as “an evening of music and poetry exploring fantasy and escapism ”.

CBSO musicians will entertain audiences with a set-list complemented by melodic mixes from acclaimed DJ Echo Juliet, while Birmingham 's poet laureate Casey Bailey will interweave his poetry among the music.

The CBSO 's popular 'Symphonic Sessions ' are part of the orchestra 's commitment to reaching wider, younger and more diverse audiences beyond the concert hall, in different communities across the city.

The first two 'Symphonic Sessions ' in 2021 sold out and two further sessions will be announced as part of the orchestra 's 2022/23 season launch.

Hockley 's street food stars Buddha Belly, Kodawari, Andy Low 'n 'Slow and Confection will be on hand to provide a range of food to cater for all tastes.

Tickets are £15 per person, including drink - while a group ticket is £50 for four people, including drink.
