The latest newsletter from CoMA (Contemporary Music-Making for Amateurs) http://www.coma.org/ which arrived today has the following item of interest to anyone within reach of Limerick:
"...a CoMA ensemble is being established in Limerick, which will be our first international ensemble. Rehearsals start on *20 September* so if you, or anyone you know, are in Ireland and interested in joining, contact Fiona Linnane, the new co-ordinator on <fionanil@yahoo.com>"
There are already a number of thriving ensembles around the UK. Look at the Web site or email <info@coma.org>
