Musica Femina

Musica Femina is a two-year cooperation project of international partners who share visions of gender equality in the cultural and artistic sector. By 2020, a variety of activities will have been implemented in different local environments:

• highlighting the creativity of women composers
• facilitating new creations and transnational mobility of music artists
• proposing discursive programs on music and musicology
• implementing structural changes in regard to equality in the music industry.
