Recognize the meaningful contributions that women have made to the world of classical music.
Reconnect contemporary artists with the complex and often-overlooked history of underrepresented artists in this field.
Reclaim, through courageous and innovative programming, the narrative from which women have been erased.
Reimagine what classical music can be and who can claim a place in the canon.
What We Do

“We are compelled to undo the erasure of women in the field of classical music. This work is essential because, even today, we don’t know our own history nor women's contributions to it: young women and men don’t learn about the generations of women who contributed to the field of classical music, and so they grow up thinking that female composers are a modern phenomenon. The next generation of audiences and artists needs role models– not just from yesterday, but from decades and centuries ago. The good news? We have them.”
–Amelia LeClair, Artistic Director
