East London Music Group brings together five choirs and East London Community Band to premiere A Fair Field by Jonathan Pease, a brand-new work telling the story of the Bow Matchgirls Strike of 1888.

In a side-by-side performance featuring five world premieres, CoMA London Ensemble and East London Music Group will play a programme of fascinating works exploring contemporary themes through narration and music. A range of diverse creative voices explore beauty, conflict, tenderness, and the natural world.

FRIDA by Paul Max Edlin sets text from Frida Kahlo's diary in twelve tableaux. The work takes the audience on a tumultuous emotional journey from Kahlo's childhood to her death, reflecting on a number of key events in her life, including her tragic accident at the age of eighteen, scenes from the Mexican Revolution, and her turbulent marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera.

Following the great success of this piece's premiere at the Oxford Festival of the Arts in 2019, we are delighted to be giving the second performance of Paul Max Edlin’s operatic monodrama FRIDA at Queen Mary University of London in Mile End.

We are thrilled to be joined once again by mezzo-soprano Katie Bray, winner of the Dame Joan Sutherland Audience Prize at Cardiff Singer of the World 2019. Since then, Katie has become known for her magnetic stage presence and her gleaming, expressive tone.

Sounding once more to a live audience, East London Music Group (ELMG) presents a night of exciting music including newly-created works by UK young composers, exploring themes of identity, hope, and East London history. The performance is at Rich Mix, Bethnal Green on Saturday 7 May 2022, 7.30pm and will feature classic works by John Adams, Thea Musgrave and Howard Skempton, alongside ELMG commissioned works by Ella Jarman-Pinto, Leo Geyer, and Robin Haigh.

We are delighted to present the world premiere of Edward Nesbit’s Antigone - a Chamber Opera in three parts.

In the face of tragedy, Antigone struggles to give her brother the burial he deserves – but at what cost to herself?
