Classical and Jazz

If you prefer classical music or jazz, Birmingham is equally attractive. The Symphony Hall, one of the finest concert halls in the world, is home to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and offers cheap tickets for students (often just £5). The Hippodrome Theatre in the Chinese Quarter is a base for the Birmingham Royal Ballet and hosts many other touring musicals and events, while a number of pubs in the city centre host jazz and blues bands most nights of the week and the Jam House in the Jewellery Quarter is a famed jazz and live music venue.
