Celebrating, Performing, and Supporting Music Composed by Women
Our Mission

We foster inclusivity and representation to expand and enrich the collective understanding of what music is, has been, and can be. We promote music composed by women through performance, education, research, consulting, and commissions.
Performance
Concert series devoted to presenting music composed by women, past and present, striving to challenge established inequalities in concert programming.
Education
Lectures, publications, and masterclasses to help expose students and audiences to the idea that women have composed, and do compose, music.
Commissions
