Playing What’s Not There: Open Workshop
Delve into the vivid world of improvisation, exploring everything from text scores, to pitch guides, to graphic scores.
CoMA Sheffield delve into the vivid world of improvisation, exploring everything from text scores, to pitch guides, to graphic scores. Whilst wildly different in visual presentation, what these works all have in common, is the aspiration that the performers will go beyond the basic instructions and together achieve something more than the sum of the parts.
As Miles Davis put it, “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there.”
We welcome players, composers and singers. All abilities and experience welcome. You do not need to be able to read music.
There will also be an evening performance in which we are excited to premier new works by nonclassical Associate Composer, Harry Gorski Brown and CoMA Sheffield Musical Director, Louise Vincent.

The venue is wheelchair accessible – it has a ramp and an accessible toilet.
