RNCM Manchester, 124 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9RD
Sunday 4th March 2018
This nationwide biennial festival offers musicians of all ages and abilities a gateway into the exciting, imaginative and essential world of contemporary music, a vibrant celebration in which professional, amateur and young musicians can come together to celebrate works by many of the leading composers of today. Composition students at the RNCM will have their pieces workshopped and premiered by a pro-am ensemble as part of a mixed day of contemporary music making. Following a performance of CoMA Open Score commissions by CoMA partner ensembles and young musicians from the GMMusicHub, a new commission by composer Nigel Osborne for large forces, conducted by Stuart Hazelton, will be the centrepiece of a final concert, a catalyst for creating as diverse an ensemble as possible, to which allcomers are invited.
