Our aim is to further develop this online database of works by gender minoritized (women and non-binary) composers from the Nordic countries in the art music genre.
The database will be maintained by parties in all the Nordic countries. It will be marketed internationally and be a handy tool enabling people in the worldwide art music sector – concert programmers, music venues, musicians and others – to find repertoire by Nordic gender minoritized composers. We also aim to provide playable sheet music.
This Nordic database will act as a tool for achieving a more equal repertoire in art music institutions. It will also enable more Nordic gender minoritized composers to be professionally active, since their music will be easily accessible all over the world.
The database and its marketing will also promote a positive image of the Nordic area as a worldwide role model for gender equality.
