Dame Ethel Smyth

Dame Ethel Smyth was an incredible composer and trailblazer in classical music, and her influence is still felt today. Born in 1858 in the UK, she managed to break through the male-dominated world of classical music with her unique compositions and fearless personality. Ethel was not just a talented composer but also a passionate advocate for women's rights; she even spent some time in jail for her suffragette activities!

Her music is known for its powerful melodies and rich orchestrations. Some of her standout pieces include "The Prison," "Mass in D & Overture to The Wreckers," and a collection of her stunning "Orchestral Works." These compositions continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and complexity. Ethel Smyth's legacy is not just in her music but also in her pioneering spirit and the doors she opened for future generations of female composers.
