Ethel Smyth: "Leipzig!!! ... Here I am!"

British composer and feminist Ethel Smyth studied in Leipzig in 1877/78. You can help the Hochschule für Musik und Theater purchase the letters she wrote to her mother. A website has been set up to sponsor the letters. This May will mark the 70th anniversary of Smyth's death.

***

Am 8. Mai 2014 ist der 70. Todestag der britischen Komponistin und Frauenrechtlerin Ethel Smyth.
Passend zu diesem Anlass wurden der Bibliothek der HMT Leipzig von einem Londoner Antiquariat 57 Briefe angeboten, die Smyth während ihrer Studienzeit am Leipziger Konservatorium (1877/78) an ihre Mutter schrieb. Um den Erwerb zu ermöglichen, setzen wir auf eine Patenschaftsaktion. Für 150 € können Einzelpersonen und Gruppen (z. B. Freundes- und Kollegenkreise) die symbolische Patenschaft für einen Brief übernehmen (http://www.hmt-leipzig.de/hmt/bibliothek/hmtarchiv/ethel-smyth).
