Barber Evening Concert - BBC Singers feat. Birmingham University Singers

We are thrilled to welcome the BBC Singers and their Principal Guest Conductor, Bob Chilcott, to the Barber Evening Concert series. Bob is no stranger to the University, and for this concert he brings Birmingham University Singers (the student choir which he directs for University Music) to the stage in a selection of joint items with the BBC Singers.
The performance includes the world premiere of He Used to Say, a work commissioned by University Music and written by Professor of Composition, Michael Zev Gordon.
