an exciting new composition and orchestra project
KOMPOSIT, managed by musician, Jo Freya, is the working name for an exciting new orchestra and composition project.
The orchestra will consist of skilled musicians who are looking for a challenge. The participants will come from different musical backgrounds (e.g. folk, classical, contemporary, world and jazz). Their role will be to play new music from composers who currently have no outlet for hearing their work performed.
Jo is actively recruiting for the project so anyone, whether a composer or a performer, who is interested in registering their interest in this new and unique professional opportunity should contact her on 07900 215419 or via This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
