The Eliza Flower Recital 2026

Join us for an informal hour of free-thinking discussion, music, and readings at the fireside of the historic Conway Hall Library in celebration of our cherished composer, Eliza Flower (1803-46).This inaugural event explores the legacy of Flower’s collaborative friendship with the political polymath Harriet Martineau (1802-76) on the 150th anniversary of her death, and that of Flower’s natural successor at South Place Ethical Society, the prolific composer Emily Josephine Troup (1853-1913).The programme will include a performance of Flower’s ‘Fellowship’ from Hymns of Modern Thought, which was first revived by Electric Voice Theatre at the Winter Carols by Candlelight concert last year.Presented by Electric Voice Theatre and guests:Frances M Lynch, Artistic Director, Electric Voice TheatreOskar Jensen, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, Newcastle UniversityMadeleine Goodall, Humanist Heritage Manager, Humanists UKPresented by Conway Hall.This is an all ages event.
