Under the unflashy direction of Andras Keller, one of Hungary’s leading orchestras played with bags of character at Symphony Hall, Birmingham
Review by Rebecca Franks on The Times Thursday December 04 2025
With the German Christmas market in full swing, and one of Hungary’s leading orchestras on stage at Symphony Hall, it was easy to imagine I was somewhere in central Europe rather than the West Midlands as I walked through Birmingham. The Concerto Budapest Symphony Orchestra had stopped off intown as part of its third tour of the UK and Ireland, bringing agenerously packed programme and making the evening an unmissable event.
