SUMMARY:CBSO 2025/25: An Evening with Davóne Tines
DESCRIPTION:An encounter with the spiritual across the centuries with Haydn\, Carlos Simon and Davóne Tines.\n\n\n\nThis inspiring concert will invigorate the senses and move the spirit. 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

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. He was last seen at MAC in the sold out musical drama ‘Our Little Hour – The Walter Tull Story’ and we are delighted to welcome Neil back for Windrush weekend to share his own story. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n Reidman’s show is a masterpiece in acting  \n\n\n\n-Broadway Baby

SUMMARY:Pay What You Choose: Pressure
DESCRIPTION:With a screenplay written by Horace Ové and fellow Trinidadian author Sam Selvon\, Pressure follows a Black family in west London; from the parents who came from Trinidad as part of the Windrush generation with their first son\, now part of the Black Power Movement\, to their younger British-born son Tony (Herbert Norville). 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.
