CoMA COLLABORATION

ONLINE CALL OUT FOR PERFORMERS

The third bi-annual international festival of contemporary music produced by CoMA (Contemporary Music for All). The CoMA collective was founded with the intention of involving musicians of all abilities in performances of contemporary music.

Join the London Sinfonietta and Contemporary Music for All (CoMA) for a day celebrating contemporary music. Receive coaching on a piece of contemporary repertoire from a member of the London Sinfonietta. The London Sinfonietta players will be Darragh Morgan (violin), Mark van de Wiel (clarinet), and Christian Barracclough (trumpet).

Following your coaching session you will have the opportunity to perform in The Octagon, at Queen Mary University.

You are welcome to bring along any post-war piece of contemporary music and we encourage people to learn a piece from the ABRSM Spectrum series. Pieces should be no longer than 5 minutes.  The showcase will be open to members of the public to attend.

End the day with a rehearsal and performance with the CoMA Allcomers Orchestra, performing a brand new commission by composer Kate Whitely.
