These includde a session on ‘rehearsing and conducting your work with ensemble’ by Wales-based New Music conductor Michael Rafferty. Student’s pieces were workshopped by the Berkeley Ensemble which made a studio recording of each and gave their premieres at the project’s final concert at Cardiff University in April 2019.
