What do you get when you cross a composer and fierce early champion of women's rights, with one of music's greatest revolutionaries? Musical fireworks!!
For this Festival Chorus concert with the Sydney Youth Orchestra, we’ve paired Dame Ethel Smyth’s fiercely passionate Mass in D for choir and orchestra with Beethoven’s mighty ‘Ode to Joy’ finale from his Ninth Symphony. It’s a chance to experience two impressively defiant personalities who, each in their own way, pursued grand visions and broke new ground with music that speaks powerfully of struggle and triumph.
Fierce, radical and joyous. Don't miss this one.
