The Brompton Quartet releases Constellations on 6 March via Platoon, presenting a curated journey through nearly a millennium of music by six female composers. The album brings together works by Hildegard von Bingen, Barbara Strozzi, Grażyna Bacewicz, Isidora Žebeljan, Dobrinka Tabakova, and Jessie Montgomery. Spanning from medieval to contemporary eras, the recording highlights the enduring and evolving contributions of women composers, offering a cohesive musical narrative that bridges historical periods and diverse stylistic voices.

The Brompton Quartet, formed at the Royal College of Music in 2018, has quickly established a reputation for dynamic performances across the string quartet repertoire. Early success came with winning the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition and being selected as Park Lane Group artists in 2020. The ensemble has since performed widely across the UK and Europe, appearing at major venues including Wigmore Hall and Southbank Centre. Regular festival appearances and collaborations with distinguished musicians, alongside mentorship from leading artists, have further shaped their artistic development and growing international profile.
