Local musicians have come together to form a small new music ensemble based in Aberdeen. An unusual combination of instruments (including two bassoons!) explore flexible scores commissioned by CoMA (Contemporary Music for All), two of which will be performed in this concert, alongside specifically commissioned works by Gemma McGregor and Rose Dodd, and Gavin Bryar’s iconic work, Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet.
