The Cecilia Chorus of New York and their Music Director Mark Shapiro will be giving a rare performance of Dame Ethel Smyth's The Prison at Carnegie Hall in New York on May 11. They celebrate this important performance they have produced a mini-documentary about Smyth's life and music – including her close involvement with the Suffragettes – with a particular focus on the music that Smyth wrote for The Prison, which you can enjoy below. The Prison will be performed alongside Mozart's Requiem. For full concert information, please visit: ceciliachorusny.org
