In connection with the Pride Festival in Stockholm, a quintet from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra plays music by Ethel Smyth. Composer Ethel Smyth was a strong personality who stood out in Victorian England. She was openly lesbian and one of the leaders in the suffragette movement, which fought for women's suffrage, the right to vote in parliamentary and general elections. Ethel Smyth was appointed Dame of the British Empire in 1922, becoming the first female composer to receive such an honour. Ethel Smyth was also an author and wrote several books. There will also be readings from her entertaining memoirs. This event takes place in conjunction with the Pride Festival.

English

Tonsättaren Ethel Smyth var en stark personlighet som stack ut i det viktorianska England. Hon var öppet lesbisk och en av de ledande inom suffragettrörelsen, som kämpade för kvinnlig rösträtt. Som första kvinnliga tonsättare utnämndes Ethel Smyth 1922 till Dame of the British Empire.

Ethel Smyth var även författare och skrev ett flertal böcker. Det kommer även att ske läsning ur hennes underhållande memoarer.

Konserten sker i samband med Pridefestivalen.
