The Finishing Line @ CoMA Festival 2026

CoMA London, CoMA Sussex and CoMA Singers join forces for a dynamic concert to round off the CoMA Festival 2026! Be immersed in natural soundworlds and shifting lights, be inspired by creative interactions between music and live captioning, and experience the euphoric highs and excruciating lows of running a marathon in a record-breaking 20 minutes from the comfort of your seat.

We will also be joined by special guests The Clarion Trio. This pioneering ensemble will premiere two new pieces written for them by composers Richard Peat and Louis Palfrey. Both composers are alumni of CoMA's Connect the Dots programme, which provides training on writing inclusive music for Disabled musicians.
