CoMA was founded in the spring of 2003 as a centre for contemporary art music.
Formally based in Växjö, it operates under the auspices of the Musik i Syd regional network with funding from
both the Swedish National Concert Institute and the National Council for Cultural Affairs.

|
The aim and mission of CoMAs is to create the best possible conditions
and opportunities for newly composed music, by proactive means. En route to this objective - the
encounter between the composer and the listener - a number of steps are involved: the commissioning
of new works, the organisation of seminars, master classes and teaching activities, funding for
organisers and tours, CD releases, information/ marketing, networking activities and international cooperation, etc.
|
CoMA constitutes a resource for the independent art music scene.
Together with the cultural association Media Artes, it organises a wide range of concert
activities with Swedish and foreign freelanace musicians. The two organisations are also
jointly responsible for the Blomdahl Studio - an electro accoustic production studio with
an experimental stage - and for the CoMA Festival: Art Music for the Future. This close
collaboration with Media Artes ensures that the intentions of CoMA are properly and efficiently fulfilled.
|
The CoMAs undertaking also extends to tour-based production groups
comprising ensembles and composers in residence, an integrated concept that involves close
cooperation with concert organisers and enables us to adopt a long term perspective in our production activities.
|
|
CoMA operates at the regional, national and international level.
Its net-work is extensive, involving numerous partners, and encompasses every aspect of the
contemporary art music scene. Collaboration is one of our keywords and our perspective is global.
