Women and Power

I am searching for scores from Female identifying and Non-Binary Composers for Solo Recorder, Deadline March 22nd.

Women are currently underrepresented as composers in many sectors of Classical Music. Recorder is no exception. Currently, on the World’s Largest Database for Recorder Music, just 14% of the works listed are written by women.

I would like to increase this number, so I am looking for female and non-binary composers to join me in creating works for my recital ‘Women and Power’

Composers can EITHER 

  1. submit existing scores  

  2. choose to relate to the theme: WOMEN AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO POWER 

I am committed to increasing diversity in classical music and I would love to receive submissions from all nationalities, ethnicities and races. 

Selected works will be premiered in a showcase recital in June 2021 at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, as well as receive a CD quality recording and a video recording of their work.  

TO SUBMIT YOUR SCORE

Send a PDF (+ optional recording) of your score

Along with: your name, contact details, biography and website, as well as any information on the composition (eg. Programme note, or any previous performances/premieres.)

to efbannister@btinternet.com

Any questions can also be sent by email. 

DEADLINE MONDAY MARCH 22ND
