Pick ‘n’ mix perfection: Thanks to everyone who came to CoMA Singers' concert on Sunday, a wonderfully vibrant performance exploring endless permutations of numbers, words, patterns and more. The action didn’t just stay confined to the stage, with the audience getting involved too!

Closes tomorrow!

Thanks to Tempo magazine for this fantastic review of one of CoMA's 2025 performances of @uriagnon.bsky.social's MARCH, as captured on the @nmcrecordings.bsky.social New Music Biennial compilation! We love being described as "quietly radical", although MARCH was one of our less quiet moments... 📣🥁🗣️

Head to their website to watch a lovely short documentary all about the band and its members: www.drumandink.com/ashfordcommu... 🧵2/2

Are you ready to try something new? For #MakeMusicDayUK on Sunday 21 June, we’re hosting a free workshop at RNCM in Manchester where you can have a go at playing graphic scores, text pieces and more! Open to ages 14+, any experience level or instrument (or none)! Book: www.coma.org/get-involved...

If you're a member of @makingmusicuk.bsky.social, look out for CoMA CEO Tamara in the latest edition of Highnotes magazine, talking about how CoMA ensembles can work closely with contemporary composers to bring a piece to life. Plus there are some top picks from the CoMA catalogue!

You can now watch the pieces performed at the KNM Campus Days ensemble as part of Klangwerkstatt festival in Berlin last Nov. Get ready for MRI scanners, fairground organs and Petros Ovsepyan's festival commission, 'Why fum'th in fight': www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZAJ...
