Happy birthday to #EthelSmyth! 🎉 It’s been an absolute pleasure to spend the best part of the last 4 years researching her life and music. Here’s to more of it being performed!

Her Lieder deserve more love, so take a listen to this one from her op. 3.

120 years ago today, #EthelSmyth made history as the first woman to have an opera staged at the @MetOpera !

Gestern Ethel Smyth's "The Wreckers" Ouvertüre gespielt vom wunderbaren #Gewandhaus #Orchester unter der Leitung von Andris Nelsons live im Konzert gehört ❤️ dazu Grieg & Tschaikowsky. Ein großartiger Konzertabend - ich bin noch immer ganz verzaubert 🥰🎵🎶✨️

Hi everyone! I'm a musicologist and pianist in the Southeastern US. I research the life and music of #EthelSmyth and other #WomenComposers, and when I'm not doing that I play in a #NewMusic ensemble. Hoping to find other #musicology and #performance folks!
