Summary
Kazuki Yamada leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra through a programme of dance-themed film scores and orchestral classics at the Bullring shopping centre.
Why it's fantastic
Hearing a full orchestra blast out the menacing Star Wars choral themes and the galloping finish of the William Tell Overture in a shopping centre is a rare thrill. This hour of high-octane music is the perfect introduction to the physical power of live brass and strings in an informal setting.
