The second off C:N Showcase for 2017 is presented by MusMA. MusMA, Music Masters on Air, is a collaboration between European art institutions, festivals and radio networks that started in 2010. MusMA showcases works by five young composers around a theme.
The 2017 theme is 'Music and Exile': the galvanising effect of cultural exchange during crisis and displacement. MusMA composers wrote pieces addressing this.
