Women of Brass is a Scandinavian brass ensemble created to put the spotlight on professional female brass players in the region. In a field long dominated by men, the group aims to offer young women role models who want to make music their path.
The ten-strong ensemble plays trumpet, horn, tuba, euphonium and trombone. It is led by internationally recognised conductor Michelle Rakers, who previously conducted "The President's Own" United States Marine Band and now lives in Aarhus. Part of the programme features songs written by female composers and songwriters, and the choir Fredens Pigekor joins the evening.
