Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
Is anyone else spooked by the way this Forum is dominated by male voices? We hear occasionally from Beth Anderson, we’ve just heard from Judith Zaimont for the first time in months, and I don’t believe that we’ve ever had Elodie Lauten here (I could be wrong about that).
Does anyone know a way to get more women composers involved in these discussions? I mean it’s not like they are being intentionally excluded, but maybe they are unwilling to participate for some reason? I wish I knew the answer. The way things are going just doesn’t seem right.
