About the programme
This concert explores resilience and hope through three powerful works. Ethel Smyth’s The March of the Women opens with its rousing suffragette anthem, followed by her Mass in D, a Romantic choral masterpiece of faith and humanity. Michael Tippett’s A Child of Our Time concludes the concert, blending modernist oratorio with African American spirituals to deliver a profound meditation on oppression, reconciliation, and universal hope.
