About

Join us for the closing concert of this year's CoMA Summer School, where our ensemble of musicians and singers will perform a programme of joyful, energetic and often surprising contemporary classical music.

The concert includes the premiere of Chorea, a major new piece by Elif Karlıdağ that takes inspiration from 16th-century studies of 'dancing mania': a strange form of mass hysteria where groups of people would dance uncontrollably for days.

The programme also includes:

Fergus Hall: Beach Thing
Judith Weir: Symphony of Spitalfields (Homage to John White)
Hollie Harding: Landscapes
Michael Pisaro: A bird in the beast
Conductors: Rebecca Miller and Janet Oates

Tickets are free but pay-as-you-feel donations to CoMA are welcome.
