Composition Workshop @ KCL

King’s College London
10 Dec 2022 & 7 Jan 2023


“What I heard of both was really exciting . . and it was great to listen to the pieces in such a supportive and helpful workshop environment.

“Thank you so much for all your hard work on Saturday! I’ve listened back to the recordings I made, and they sound really great. It’s not an easy piece and you all did so well. Thank you also for all your feedback on the piece, it’s really appreciated.”

Wow! That sounds really excellent! . . . And a great performance – many thanks . . . for putting this together, both on the day and over the course of the past months.


In this series of open workshops, we have worked with two KCL PhD-composers, Sam Buttler and Sofia Vaisman Maturana, and brought their compositions to life. It has been an extremely fruitful experience to the composer as well as ourselves. Following the workshop, their music will be recorded and released commercially.
