Haydn’s turbulent Symphony No. 44 (subtitled ‘Mourning’) is part elegy\, part whirlwind – stormy and tender by turn. Simon’s Amen\, written two and a half centuries later\, evokes the exuberant experience of worship in African American Pentecostal churches. It ultimately reaches – as Simon puts it – a ‘frenzied state’. For baritone Davóne Tines\, music can change the world – if we let it. “You have to try to model the world that you want to live in” he says\, and tonight he curates and performs in the first Birmingham performance of Mass Reorchestrated – which weaves music by Bach into an urgent\, multi-voiced exploration of musical America as it is and as it might be. \n\n\n\n\n\nArtists\n\n\n\nChristian Reif  Conductor \n\n\n\nDavóne Tines  Baritone \n\n\n\nCity of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra  \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nHaydn  Symphony No.44 (Mourning)\, 22mins \n\n\n\nCarlos Simon  Amen\, 12mins \n\n\n\nCaroline Shaw/ Davóne Tines  Mass Reorchestrated\, 45mins URL:https://blackgold.biz/whatson/cbso-2025-25-an-evening-with-davone-tines/ LOCATION:Symphony Hall\, Broad Street\, Birmingham\, B1 2EA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://blackgold.biz/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Davone-Tines.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260621T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260621T160000 DTSTAMP:20260528T202856 CREATED:20260521T225800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260523T180300Z UID:10000436-1782054000-1782057600@blackgold.biz SUMMARY:Without by Neil Reidman DESCRIPTION:Reidman’s acclaimed show\, chronicles one man’s life\, from the Windrush era through to the modern day.  With humour and pathos the story charts the challenges and obstacles he faces throughout his journey from boyhood to man. \n\n\n\nNeil was nominated for ‘Best Male Lead Actor in a Play’ at the British Black Theatre Awards 2024 for his performance in this intimate\, moving play.

As he leaves school and encounters prejudice on individual and institutional levels\, Tony struggles to find acceptance in the country he grew up in yet has no Caribbean home he can dream of returning to. \nA groundbreaking and authentic exploration of the anxieties of an emerging second-generation of West Indians in Britain\, Pressure (1975) is a significant title in the history of British Cinema\, and remains as relevant now as it ever was — with its themes of police corruption\, discrimination and employment on an individual and institutional level.

Through the voices of a generation shaped by migration\, it explores the letters sent across oceans — messages of hope\, longing\, and separation. It reflects on promises made and broken by families\, institutions\, and society\, and asks what it truly means to belong. A moving tribute to resilience\, identity\, and connection. \n\n\n\nDirected by Tonia Daley-Campbell  \n\n\n\nFollowed by an interactive Q&A session with the cast and director.
