Have you ever started something, set it aside, and come back to it years later? That's what happened with Ethel Smyth's String Quartet in E minor. She began it in 1902, then set it aside for a decade.
In those ten years, Smyth became a leading voice in the women's suffrage movement and experienced profound personal loss. When she finally returned to the music, she brought those experiences with her.
Hear Ethel Smyth's String Quartet in E minor tonight on WSHU, 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they'll be sharing with you.
