The Septenary Foundation is a charity registered in the UK (1178218), established to support independent performer-researchers working in the field of Historically Informed Performance. We use the proceeds from sales of printed and PDF music, and of our improvisation and ornamentation app Passaggi to provide conference grants, research grants, and continuing education opportunities for freelance musicians who do research.
