(1/2) We’re thrilled to be back in schools playing live for the first time since March 2020! 🤩 !
We've been jumping around to Vivaldi, Stravinsky & Bach and we reckon our Dino Disco is knocking it out of the (Jurassic) park.

Happy birthday to us! On 10 November 1920 Sir Edward Elgar conducted the City of Birmingham Orchestra in its first symphonic concert – and the future CBSO took its first step onto the world stage.
