Happy Birthday Mary Wollstonecraft, St Mary’s Church N16
27 April 2013
A delightfully short concert from Stoke Newington’s very own choir and professional orchestra, The Elastic Band, celebrating the 254th birthday of the author of The Vindication of the Rights of Women with music performed in London during her lifetime. Excerpts from Handel’s Messiah juxtaposed with Haydn’s Creation and Ravel’s Pavanne pour une Infante Défunte. Plus novelist Elizabeth Woodcraft on Mary’s significance and her legacy for modern feminism. All proceeds to www.smartn16.org
