RMA Conference 2013

Four of us had a great time playing six new pieces in workshops at the Royal Musical Association Postgraduate Students’ Conference in January, which took place at the University of Southampton. The sessions were chaired by Professor Michael Finnissy and featured new works by Ben Jameson, Yvonne Eccles, Ronald MacNiven, Máté Szigeti, Yuko Ohara and Andrew Thomas. In a review of the conference Alistair Zaldua has written that ‘the composition workshops were excellently chaired by Professor Michael Finnissy and sensitively performed by four members of The Workers Union Ensemble’. Here are some photos from the workshop…
