Marin Alsop leads the Philharmonia Orchestra in Mahler’s Sixth Symphony on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at Royal Festival Hall in London.

Alsop, one of the most recognisable conductors in the world, brings her long relationship with Mahler to the Southbank Centre for a programme that pairs the Sixth, the symphony Mahler himself called tragic, with Bernstein’s Serenade, played by violinist Esther Yoo.

The concert is one of the flagship nights of the Philharmonia’s London season, a major orchestra and a major conductor in one of the strongest programmes of the autumn.

We Speak Media will be watching the Festival Hall night closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the concert.

The Human Appeal Winter Comedy Tour reaches The New Bingley Hall in Birmingham on Sunday, December 20, 2026, as the Muslim Comedy Takeover closes its twelfth year of touring in aid of orphaned children.

Guz Khan, Tez Ilyas, Kae Kurd, Aatif Nawaz and Riaad Moosa share the bill on a tour that has become one of the fixtures of the British comedy winter, playing arena scale rooms across the country. The Birmingham date closes a leg that also calls at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Sheffield and Manchester.

Comedy for a cause at this scale is its own kind of show, part stand up spectacular and part community gathering, and the Bingley Hall is ready for a full house.

We Speak Media will be watching the Birmingham night closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the show.
