Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra Reveals Schedule
BIRMINGHAM (WWJ) - The Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra (BBSO) is returning to a five concert series after budget rebuilding efforts required several years of abbreviated performances.

On Sunday, December 18, the BBSO's holiday concert "Make a Joyful Noise" will be presented at Birmingham Seaholm High School. Typically one of the audience's favorite concerts of the year, the performance will feature choral accompaniment from the Groves and Seaholm High School Choirs.
The New Year begins with "Water Music" at Temple Israel on Sunday, February 12, featuring music from the "classical" era with strings, winds, brass and timpani of the BBSO, as well as soloist Timothy Krohn on trumpet.
