My repeated use of the adjective "brilliant" here is quite deliberate!
Very well recommended.

WHO WE ARE

In 2003, a number of composers based in the Bristol and Bath area got together to form the Severnside Composers Alliance with the aim of promoting performances of their own music, and stimulating a wider interest in the composition and performance of new music in the region.

SCA has some fifteen concerts under its belt, attracting some excellent reviews. Dunelm Records have released two “stimulating” and “very well recommended” CDs (DRD0238 and DRD0243), and Poppy Records have released our third CD in October 2011. Local composers have given entertaining evening talks about their life and music, over a wine and nibbles.

Click here to LISTEN to music by our composers!

Our website boasts a growing online database of
a) local performers/groups, and
b) recordings and sheet music by local composers - a fabulous resource for any musicians looking for something a little different to play!
