Jeffrey Skidmore live in Birmingham

Experience Jeffrey Skidmore live on December 5th

Jeffrey Skidmore will perform at Town Hall, Birmingham on December 5th, 2026. Skidmore is a composer and performer specializing in microtonal music, often employing just intonation and exploring extended instrumental techniques. His work frequently features acoustic instruments – particularly strings – manipulated to produce harmonies outside of traditional Western tuning systems, creating textures described as both immersive and subtly dissonant. He frequently collaborates with visual artists and performers, integrating elements of installation and performance art into his concerts.

Town Hall Birmingham opened in 1834, designed by Joseph Hanson. It was conceived as a public hall for civic gatherings and concerts, intended to provide a space for the burgeoning cultural life of the industrial city. Historically significant as a venue for political rallies – notably those advocating for social reform in the 19th century – it quickly became a prominent musical venue. The building showcases neo-classical architecture with a notable Victorian interior, including an impressive pipe organ built by William Hill & Son in 1890 which remains a central feature. Throughout its history, Town Hall has hosted performances by many internationally renowned musicians and continues to operate as a major arts and events centre within the city.
