Seattle Pro Musica – Ethel Smyth & W. A. Mozart Karen P. Thomas, Artistic DirectorBritish composer Ethel Smyth's Mass in D for choir, orchestra, and soloists is a monumental achievement. Written in the mid-19th century, it was dismissed by critics who deemed women composers unequal to their male counterparts. Seattle Pro Musica hails this stunning and seldom-heard piece as more than equal. Seattle Pro Musica pairs this groundbreaking work with Mozart's beloved "Great" Mass in C minor for one performance only in the magnificent acoustic of St. James Cathedral. With soloists Tess Altiveros, soprano; Miriam Gnagy, soprano; Dawn Padula, mezzo; Zach Finkelstein, tenor; Charles Robert Stephens, bass.
