DESCRIPTION:Joy Bounds brings famous composer and suffragette Ethel Smyth to life in an inspiring fictionalised account.\n\nIt is the late nineteenth century and Queen Victoria is on the throne. Upper-class girls are expected to get married and be content with entertaining\, embroidery and elementary music-making. But\, from an early age\, Ethel has other ideas. She dreams of becoming a composer and having her music performed.\n\nJoy explains: “I became interested in Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)\, the composer\, when I came across her ‘March of the Women’ whilst researching the campaign for Votes for Women for a local history book. This song was the anthem of the suffrage organisation headed by Mrs Pankhurst\, and I was interested to find out more about its composer."\n\nInterviewer Rachel Sloane\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n  \n\n\nEvent includes refreshments.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14256" align="alignleft" width="220"] photo by Geoff Rogers[/caption]\n\n\n
