For the first time in the history of CIMCF and owing to the ongoing pandemic of 2020/2021 the International Composers Competition presentation event had to held virtually. As much as it was sad to not be able to bring everyone together the benefit is that you can watch and re-watch the event as it was live streamed at the time.

Gareth Churcher the Festival Artistic Director managed to pull together a small ensemble to prerecord the winning entries and you can also hear the adjudicator Dr Chris Best talk in detail about these wonderful pieces and the many that got commendations. We hope you enjoy!
