On Wednesday night this week I was lucky to be able to make it to the CoMA concert in Bristol.  Chris Holley (pictured above) led the ensemble in the beautiful and acoustically generous Victoria rooms in Bristol.  They gave very convincing performances over a range of different compositional styles and approaches.  Hannah Kendall, Ailís Ní Ríain, and Zöe Martlew also had performances of their pieces written for CoMA which were all very impressive.  It was good to hear contributions from Masters composition students from University of Bristol, each of whom had to grapple with the challenges of writing for open-score ensembles.
