Psappha

Psappha is a renowned music ensemble founded in 1991 by Tim Williams, who serves as its Artistic Director. The group is dedicated to commissioning, performing, and promoting new music, supporting composers at all stages of their careers. Psappha has worked with over 140 emerging composers through its 'Composing For...' scheme, premiering new works via high-quality films on their YouTube channel. The ensemble has a rich history of collaborations with notable composers, including Peter Maxwell Davies, who was a patron of Psappha for 20 years. Psappha has performed extensively across the UK, Europe, and internationally, showcasing a diverse repertoire that includes both contemporary and classic works.

Psappha's recent releases reflect their commitment to contemporary music, featuring works by prominent composers like Peter Maxwell Davies and Kenneth Hesketh. However, Psappha has recently announced its closure, marking the end of an era for this influential ensemble. Despite this, their legacy continues through their extensive discography and contributions to the world of new music.
