Symphony Hall Birmingham's 21st anniversary
14. Simon Rattle & CBSO
Simon Rattle & CBSO celebrate Symphony Hall's 20th birthday on 12 June 2011. Simon Rattle was appointed Music Director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in 1980, and it was under his leadership that the orchestra gained a reputation as one of the finest orchestras in the world. It was this rise in international acclaim that would help pave the way for Symphony Hall to be built. Photo by Alan Wood
