We've also got a big brass focus this month. We begin with an interview with Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth. When she was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, Tine reassessed her life and career - and has emerged with a healthy new outlook, as Rebecca Franks finds. Next, leading trumpeter Matilda Lloyd traces the history of her instrument through ten influential players, from the Tudor era to the present day.
