Katherine Thomas live in Birmingham

Experience Katherine Thomas live on December 9th

Katherine Thomas will perform at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham, United Kingdom on December 9, 2026. Thomas is a British composer and vocalist known for her work blending contemporary classical music with elements of folk and electronic soundscapes. Her compositions often feature layered vocal arrangements and explore themes of nature, memory, and mythology. She frequently incorporates field recordings and extended vocal techniques into her pieces, creating immersive and atmospheric experiences. Thomas has received commissions from various ensembles and institutions, establishing a growing reputation within the new music scene.

The CBSO Centre serves as the primary rehearsal space for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) but also functions as a concert venue in its own right. Opened in 1991, it was designed by architect Sir Norman Foster and is located adjacent to Symphony Hall. While acoustically optimised for orchestral practice, the CBSO Centre offers a more intimate setting for performances than its larger counterpart. It regularly hosts smaller-scale concerts, workshops, and educational events, supporting both established and emerging artists. The venue’s flexible space allows for varied staging configurations appropriate to different performance types.
