Mass in D by Ethel Smyth

Mass in D by Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)
Suffragette, composer, and famed memoirist, Smyth’s outsized personality made her friends amongst the upper classes who introduced her to Queen Victoria for whom she played her Mass on the piano, singing all the parts (now that’s chutzpah). The Queen ordered a full performance in the new Victoria and Albert Royal Hall. This massive work has languished unpublished: LeClair made a new edition and SHIFT Orchestra Project joins us for this premiere.
