HOLZ-BLECH-SCHLAG

The underrepresentation of women in music, be it female composers, orchestral musicians, soloists, conductors or professors at higher music education institutions, is - even if some things have moved in the last decades - still a fact.

Holz-Blech-Schlag is a cross-institutional project of the Gender_mdw platform to promote the visibility of female composers and to contribute to a more gender-equal repertoire. Since 2013, an annual master class for female composers has been held with a renowned female instrumentalist of the chosen instrument. Commissioned compositions by female students and alumnae of the mdw are developed and performed.
