The Composition Department is very pleased to be working with the University of St Andrews again this session, with 6 of our composers (and one from St Andrews) collaborating with researchers, to create new pieces of music in response to each other's practice and research interests. An ensemble of musicians from the RCS and St Andrews (including soprano Stephanie Lamprea), will perform the new works in a concert on Thursday 18^th April, introduced by the composers and researchers. As ever, this project is a truly international collaboration, and this year, we have individuals working together from China, Colombia, India, Italy, the UK and the US.
