About this event

Closing Night Concert – A Collaboration with City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

Jazz meets classical with a Bangla twist - a musical collaboration with Tara Lily, a British Bengali musician whose style merges R&B, jazz, electronic, and traditional sounds, and members of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

Tara Lily, a classically trained jazz musician has a strong connection to her British Bengali heritage and a unique perspective on music and global culture.

This collaboration is an exceptional blend of genres and brilliant musical minds, promising a night of electrifying sounds and hypnotic lyricism in celebration of Birmingham’s Bangla heritage artists and creatives.

Hosted by comedian and BBC Asian Network presenter Smash Bengali, the line-up includes a talented student ensemble from Royal Birmingham Orchestra opening the concert with contemporary Bangla songs, written and performed by the emerging Bangla musician Junayed Andrew.

Bangla Week takes place between 16th and 23rd November 2024.

Testimonials

Freedom50 charity bike ride in Bangladesh was one the greatest moments of my life, which I will cherish for as long I live.

Nasir, Freedom50 Cyclist
I’m delighted to be joining Legacy WM board of trustees both to support the development of a brilliant grass roots organisation in our city, and to connect The Rep with more local communities and learn how we can better serve them through our work as a major city institution.

Rachael Thomas, Executive Director at Birmingham Rep and Trustee Member

Michael Doolin, Chief Executive Officer for Clover HR
Riding with the Freedom50 group is amazing, its great company, mostly enjoyable (when it’s not too hilly, but hey, that’s where the best memories are made and where you get the best laughs!). It’s a brilliant way to stay fit, and coupled with charity rides, a great way to raise money for a needy cause.

Kois, Freedom50 Cyclist
During my time as a community champion I have participated in the Mason mile as well as holiday play schemes. I also had the honour of partaking in the Freedom50 exhibition, which opened my eyes to the true beauty of my culture. It has not only boosted my confidence, but it has also allowed me to feel more connected to the community around me.

Zara, Community Champion
