MALVERN-based English Symphony Orchestra will be performing at Birmingham's Symphony Hall next week.

The American Celebration on Friday, November 10, at 7.30pm, replaces the cancelled concert at the venue on September 16, which fell victim to the fuel protests.

It follows the pattern of the concert at the Three Counties Showground in August with music from Copland, Sousa, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Gershwin and Bernstein.

The soloists will be soprano Emma Silversides, baritone Jeremy Huw Williams and tenor Philip Sheffield.

Tickets range from £5 to £22.50 from the Symphony Hall box office on 0121 780 3333.
