Marginalised, neglected, ignored for centuries, and only now coming to the fore. The fate of brass chamber music mirrors that of the female composers of the past. This counterfactual history redresses both balances: placing the music of two female composers, Maddalena Casulana and Clara Schumann, alongside that of their historically more celebrated male contemporaries — and imagining that these women had written for brass. 

Septura brings together London’s leading players to redefine brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet.
