This year we are bringing the sounds of the JQ Festival to every corner of the Quarter with our area wide Music Trail! In collaboration with local music schools including Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), Birmingham Music School (BMS), and Progress Music Academy (PMA) we are giving young musicians a chance to showcase their talents to the public. Take the opportunity to wander and listen to the music as you explore every nook and cranny of the JQ! For the locations of Music trail please view the map on page 12 and 13.
