Our Vision

We see inclusion in all aspects of the musical world. The future of music is the balance of representation - in the music we play to the careers we hold.

The future we see is a culture of musicians that program, teach, and research music because it’s great music - not to just check off boxes and build on tokenism and the deep-rooted systemic racism, classism, and sexism in the music world.

Our future includes composers being programmed and included in standard repertoire for their merit as composers, not just because of a physical trait.

Our Values

We value respect, consent, and transparency above all. We are building a community that is accepting and open-minded, and ready to listen for all voices to be heard and have a space at the table.
