The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra is one of the best things about the city. It was brought to fame by Sir Simon Rattle (now with the Berlin Philharmonic) in the 1980s.

Easily the most important of recent cultural heritage about the city, since it's one of Birmingham's very few claims to international fame. The city has a long way to go to catch up with the likes of London, Manchester and Glasgow in terms of self belief, culture and progress, but if it gets more of the likes of the CBSO as home grown talent, then it will go a long way.
