Birmingham Contemporary Music Group’s springtime concert includes two new commissions.

Taking place at the city’s CBSO Centre on Sunday 7 April, the performance features the premiere of Hilda Paredes’ Abalorios - a 21st-century guide to the contemporary music ensemble, inspired by Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide To The Orchestra...

The second commission featured in the concert is Ondrej Adamek’s theatrical new work, Let Me Tell You A Story, which uses storytelling traditions from Korea...

The two premieres are complemented by a performance of Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s Cortege, in which musicians step out from the ensemble to the front of the stage in a series of unique solo performances.
