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

KOMPOSIT is essential to the development of new music. Despite new technology no composer truly hears their music until it is played by the instruments it is intended for. Many composers are keen to work in a less ‘traditional’ way by composing for more unusual instrumentation using different musical influences to inform their work. But this makes it increasingly hard to visualise. There are also an increasing number of composers, coming from different musical backgrounds, who aren’t necessarily classical trained, who still have the need of an orchestra to realise their creations.
