The program will be guest conducted by Grammy Award-nominated conductor Beth Wil. Trailblazing composer and women's suffrage activist Dame Ethel Smyth wrote her exuberant\, almost operatic Mass in D in 1891 and it was a work ahead of its time -- as was Smyth herself. Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb\, orchestrated by Imogen Holst\, is a kaleidoscopic expression of faith with a twist. The fearless individuality of the works of these two gay composers offer a showcase for bold choral singing with full orchestra. Distinguished vocal soloists include Sarah Brailey\, soprano\; Clara Osowski\, mezzo\; Aaron Crouch\, tenor\; and Carl Dupont\, bass X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:A choral-orchestral concert featuring music of two groundbreaking British composers. \;The program will be guest conducted by Grammy Award-nominated conductor Beth Wil.
