During the 18th-century, Britain experienced a rapid expansion in their influence throughout the globe. Join us as we explore the ways that composers commemorated the exploits of a rising superpower. At times fervent, kitschy, and sentimental, these pieces capture the spirit of a nation.

Broadwood Junction was formed after the chance discovery of an 1809 Broadwood square piano at an estate sale. The must-have instrument of the late-18th century, square pianos paved the way for music-making in the home. Consisting of alumni from Juilliard's Historical Performance program, we are passionate about performing repertoire from the early Classical to the Romantic era.
