Join Electric Voice Theatre at Conway Hall for a special 20th Bloomsbury Festival singing celebration of Crystallographer Dame Kathleen Lonsdale (1903-1971) - the first female professor at UCL and the first female Fellow of the Royal Society. Defying all odds, her pioneering science led to breakthroughs in organic chemistry and medical treatments. Beyond science, Lonsdale was a prison reformer, women's rights activist and pacifist, warning of the dangers of nuclear physics and wealth inequality in her book Is Peace Possible?
Electric Voice Theatre will be joined by some wonderful young acappella singers from University College London who call themselves UC8 and a group of singers from the exceptional Clerkenwell Community Choir, to perform music which reflects Lonsdale's eclectic life. Ranging through Irish folk song, music-hall, stirring anthems and ethical hymns. The performance features works by Judith Weir and Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Lonsdale's contemporaries like Elizabeth Maconchy, Shena Fraser and Clara Novello Davies and Conway Hall's radical thinkers, Eliza Flower and Emily Josephine Troup.
