We are excited to bring you videos of some of the student works performed by the Nonesuch Orchestra at our March 2020 composition workshop: From Page to Performance, held as part of CoMA’s Festival of Contemporary Music for All (see the news item from March 13, 2020 below). It is not often that students have the chance to hear their work performed by the orchestral line-up for which they were written; most have to make do with a digitised imitation. And the orchestra hugely enjoyed playing its part in bringing to life the creations of these talented young people.

Many thanks to Chris Adams and CoMA for making these videos and supporting our composition project and to the composer Andrew Toovey for working with the students. Enjoy the pieces and do share them!
