Watch live from St John's Smith Square a special concert for International Women's Day by violinist Madeleine Mitchell
Violinist Madeleine Mitchell and the London Chamber Ensemble give a special concert for International Women's Day, celebrating 100 years of music by women. The concert features a new work by Errollyn Wallen for violin and piano called Sojourner Truth, the name of an American abolitionist and women’s rights activist.
Mitchell says: 'Even 50 years ago it was very difficult for women composers and it’s only in the past few years that some of the earlier composers’ music is more widely known. I hope that the next century will see great freedom for women to create more wonderful music.'
