Summer Music in City Churches

A secular Remembrance programme presented by the acclaimed and innovative brass ensemble Septura.

Septura brings together London’s leading players to redefine brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet by creating a canon of transcriptions, arrangements and new commissions for this brand new classical configuration (‘brilliantly done’ The Observer).

Inspired by the strong battlefield associations of brass instruments, Septura’s focus is the mortal aspect of armed conflict, reflecting themes of heroism, sacrifice and grief.

Programme:

Brahms Geistliches Lied
Handel Suite from Rinaldo
Parry Songs of farewell (selection)
Shostakovich Quartet No.8
