The orchestra is pleased to annouce the appointment of Richard Laing as Associate Conductor.  Richard has enjoyed a close relationship with the orchestra for several years, conducting concerts in Birmingham Town Hall, Adrian Boult Hall and Leominster Priory as well as in Sutton Coldfield and Warwick, and leading the memorable performances of Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony in 2007.

Special congratulations to our Patron, the
ianist Peter Donohoe who was awarded a
CBE in the New Year Honours List 2010. Peter discussed his recent performances of Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand with the BPO in a recent article in the Birmingham Post -“I don’t regard the main issue to be whether or not the musicians concerned are amateur or professional. It’s more important that they’re genuinely interested and committed to music."
