5 Summary of Week 4
This week, you have reflected on what the term composer/music creator can mean in the early twenty-first century. You have considered how you can work with contemporary women composers/music creators, including performing pre-existing works, commissioning new ones, engaging women as artists in residence, and working together with them and others on special projects. You have learned about how you can use the F-List Directory of UK Female+ Musicians to search for composers and other female+ musicians. You have also heard Stephan Meier discussing BCMG’s work championing women composers and working towards gender balanced programming.
Next week, you will reflect on how you can draw everything you have learned over the last four weeks together to start diversifying (or further diversifying) your own repertoire. You will hear Angela Slater discussing her work with the ensemble Illuminate, which exclusively promotes the work of women composers and performers.
You can now go to Week 5.
