Their collaborations include working with Dr Leah Broad on her ‘Quartet’ book tour, giving performances by Ethel Smyth, Rebecca Clarke, Dorothy Howell and Doreen Carwithen. They also champion works by living composers, including British-Iranian composers Shiva Feshareki and Soosan Lolovar who were part of 97 Ensembles sold-out concert at Fidelio Café in September 2023, marking one year of the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement in Iran.
