CoMA Bristol, the University of Bristol New Music Ensemble and the Gurt Lush Choir come together in a concert of new music.  In the second part of the concert, an all-comers orchestra made up of musicians from the Bristol area are conducted by William Goodchild in a performance of Nigel Osborne’s major new work I am Swimming.

I am Swimming is inspired by testimony from refugees fleeing across the Mediterranean from persecution in their own countries.
