A renowned classical outfit with none other than big screen legend Bill Murray providing vocals and readings comes to Birmingham this summer.

In what is one of just three UK dates, the New Worlds tour sees Murray joined by cellist Jan Vogler, pianist Vanessa Perez, and violinist Mira Wang at the Symphony Hall on Wed 25 Jun.

Murray and world-renowned cellist Jan Vogler met during their travels and became friends in New York. Curious about each other’s artistic world and interests, the actor and the cellist soon had the idea to work together on a show which premiered in 2017.

To the accompaniment of the classically trained musicians, Murray sings and reads American classics, spanning the likes of Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway.

The show features a programme showcasing the ‘core of American values in literature and music’ in a show that communicates the bridges artists have built between America and Europe.
