About
Brass instruments are almost a Christmas cliché: synonymous with the celebration, but perhaps not with the wealth of great music that it has inspired. Septura sets out to rectify this, re-imagining for brass septet the Christmas offerings of the greatest composers of the past 450 years. Pushing the combinations and colours of the septet to the limits, the result is a virtuosic and varied selection of festive favourites.

Awards and reviews
Christmas 2016
This new anthology by Septura, an elite group drawing on the finest players in London, is just the ticket. The selections range widely, from the golden sonorities of Schütz’s Geistliche Chormusik to a clever antiphonal arrangement of Leontovych’s Carol of the Bells. Three rousing numbers from Handel’s Messiah cap a recital so entertaining that the missing words don’t matter
13th December 2016
Brass at Christmas might well be a cliché but when it is as good as this that is no penalty.
