Women transforming classical music

Women transforming classical music is a free course aimed at helping individual performers, ensembles and organisations within the classical music industry to diversify their repertoire by including more works by women composers. The 6-week course considers the male-dominated nature of the contemporary classical music industry and how to programme more women. It offers practical advice on diverse programming, funding, building audiences, finding scores and resources, and how to promote the work of living women composers. The course is illustrated throughout by interviews with industry experts who are all leaders in the field of championing the music of women composers.
