About Composeher

Composeher is an ambitious project by the Glasgow School of Art Choir, to commission seven composers to compose a series of new choral works, all of which were premiered by the choir in May 2023.

Inspired by findings on the scale of under-representation of female writers in classical and choral music, Composeher shone a light on high-quality choral music composed by women. The project highlighted the inequality in classical music between the number of male versus female composers being commissioned, using a series of workshop sessions and a pre-concert talk as a platform to engage with, and encourage, a national discussion surrounding females within the music industry.
