Trumpet virtuoso John Wallace has just released his fifth 'Brass Matters' podcast.
This episode explores the intriguing question to whether or not Italian composer Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612) wrote an 'Invisible Symphony' — his 'Canzoni et Sonata' (1615), and why his Wallace Collection wants to reinvent this and his other works for the 21st century.

It's all linked to the ensembles forthcoming appearance alongside the cooperation band at the Edinburgh Fringe at 8.00pm on Sunday 24th August at Stockbridge Parish Church (EH3 5BN).
