Septura Brass Septet

Septura is “brass playing at its most exalted.” (Fanfare) Seven of London’s leading players have redefined brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet. This new generation of British brass superstars hold principal positions in the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, and other prominent European orchestras. Currently the Ensemble in Residence at the Royal Academy of Music, Septura captivates audiences with its transformative repertoire and sound that is “irresistible.” (The Observer) This rousing concert features the work of four early 20th-century composers—Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Edward Elgar and Gerald Finzi—who helped to define American and British music.
