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 and released as an album in 2024.

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.
