Ethel Smyth fick slåss för sin plats i konserthusen. Männen i musiklivet och hennes egen pappa tyckte inte att kvinnor skulle skriva musik. Men trots allt motstånd tog det lång tid för Ethel att närma sig suffragetterna.

Kompositören Ethel Smyth föddes 1858 i Storbritannien. Uppväxten i en välbärgad familj kom med sina fördelar, men att en flicka som hon skulle ha en framtid som tonsättare ansågs absurt.

Ethel Smyth kämpade hela livet för sin plats i musiklivet. Men motgångar hindrade henne inte från att skriva mässor, serenader och operor. År 1902 blev hon den första kvinnan att få en opera uppsatt på The Metropolitan i New York. Med tiden blev hon också en förkämpe för kvinnlig rösträtt och engagerade sig i suffragettrörelsen.

Via Ethel Smyths egna memoarer ges vi en inblick i hennes tankar och liv. Med sin envishet och musikalitet har hon skapat musikhistoria, men under en lång period var hon ganska bortglömd.

I programmet medverkar dirigenten Cathrine Winnes och Leah Broad, doktor i musikhistoria vid Oxfords universitet.

Bastien's wish is granted, if only he knew.

Although, most of these urban legends have some sort of truthful origination to them, it typically only serves the purpose of making the story seem more believable. Many kids know the fears that have been created in their hearts from stories like this all too well. But, deep down, it is also known that even though it is scary…it really isn’t completely true. But what if you found out that the story that you grew up hearing, whether you ignored the warnings or your didn’t, turned out to be real?

(Fun Fact: Of all of the thousands of messages I have given over the years, THIS one is my devoted daughter's all-time-favorite!)

“It’s the holiday season.”

A statement, as you will hear on this PODCAST, that cuts two ways.

For far too many of us, this is not “the most wonderful time of the year.” For you, or someone you know, it’s the loneliest time of the year.

But it does not have to be.

Celebrities rule, sometimes quite literally, in our society and for those of us who are not famous, an encounter with a celebrity can be a memorable experience. It can be a fun story to tell, a meh moment or a less than pleasant experience one hopes to forget. In some rare instances, an encounter with a celebrity can be a life-changing event.

In this episode, Dr. McCoy discusses the lessons she has learned through celebrity encounters over the years. These lessons include: the importance of not make assumptions about another's life, not rushing to judgment about another's character, learning to make up one's own mind about an issue instead of taking a celebrity's word for it, realizing that celebrities, like the rest of us, aren't always what they seem but are much more fascinating and complex than any label -- just like us, that for some celebrities, an ordinary moment is a luxury and that kindness and compassion can make a crucial difference in another's life, whether or not celebrity is ever part of the equation.
