Experience Thomas Søndergård live on January 20th

Thomas Søndergård will conduct a concert at Symphony Hall, Birmingham on January 20, 2027. Søndergård is a Danish conductor known for his clear interpretations and a focus on orchestral colour and narrative within the music. His repertoire is broad, encompassing standard classical works alongside contemporary compositions, and he frequently champions Nordic composers. He often receives praise for his ability to draw expressive performances from orchestras through meticulous preparation and a collaborative approach.

Symphony Hall itself opened in September 1991 and is widely regarded as having one of the finest acoustic spaces in Europe. Designed by Renton, Eggert & McLaughlin Associates, its vineyard-style seating arrangement contributes significantly to its renowned sound quality, ensuring excellent audibility from nearly every location within the hall. The hall was built as part of the International Convention Centre (ICC) complex and has hosted a diverse range of performances beyond classical music, including rock, pop, and ballet. It serves as the home of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and welcomes numerous international orchestras and soloists annually. The hall's interior design incorporates elements intended to enhance both acoustic performance and visual appeal.
