Brandenburg Presents CoMA 'Cries of London'

* Premier performance

The CoMA Singers is a group of experienced Singers based in London, performing usually a capella, but sometimes with auxiliary instruments or in collaboration with instrumental ensembles. We are part of CoMA (contemporary Music for All), whose vision is for contemporary music to be open to everyone, celebrating participation in new music-making as a meaningful and essential part of our lives. The Singers perform, commission and enjoy vocal music that has an element of experiment, chance or unusual vocal techniques.
