Heddi Feilhauer Reading

Ethel Smyth – »A real composer«

Three extraordinary women are the centre of the eponymous concert series. At the Villa Elisabeth, their stories, work and influence are brought to life on three evenings – in stories by three authors and experts and in compositions that mirror the circumstances of the protagonists’ lives and times.

The first concert, on 18 October 2026, is dedicated to the composer Ethel Smyth (1858–1944), who struggled against resistance to her studying music from both her family and society, went on to have a successful career, fought as a suffragette for women’s right to vote and wrote a hymn to the British women’s rights movement: ›The March of the Women‹. DSO audiences will remember above all the powerful sounds of her opera ›The Wreckers‹, which Robin Ticciati conducted in 2022. Heddi Feilhauer, the translator and editor of Smyth’s memoirs, is presenting the composer.
