Based in the West Midlands? Interested in exploring some new music written by living composers and meeting local musicians? Come join us for a fun & playful day of music-making hosted at the University of Birmingham (UoB)!
On the day participants will form a ‘scratch band’ to play some exciting works from the CoMA Catalogue and new pieces by UoB student composers. The group will be led by composer & conductor Sara Caneva.
All instruments abilities and levels of experience welcome although a basic ability to read 5-line stave notation is required.

2-4pm: A session playing works by student composers
Details of repertoire will be updated nearer the time. Sheet music will be emailed out to participants before the sessions.
