Listen: Eliza Carthy's folk cover of The Pankhurst Anthem
Be inspired by Eliza Carthy's beautiful solo interpretation of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3's new choral commission, with music by Lucy Pankhurst and words by Helen Pankhurst.
We're encouraging singers and choirs of all types to make The Pankhurst Anthem part of their repertoires in 2018 - the centenary of women first getting the vote in the United Kingdom. You can find more information and download free sheet music on the Breakfast page of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 website.
