Composer Diversity in Practice and Programming
with Rob Deemer, Founder & Director, Composer Diversity Project; Professor and Head of Composition in the School of Music at the State University of New York at Fredonia

We’ve heard it a lot in this industry: we need to diversify. But how? Launched in 2018, the Composer Diversity Database was created as the only existing tool that allows you to search for works by underrepresented composers. The project is now housed at the State University of New York at Fredonia as a full Institute, and the team has launched additional tools and research such an analysis of orchestral 2019-2020 seasons across the country in order to track diversity progress in the field. Institute Founder and Director Rob Deemer will outline the tools, models, and best practices with which to explore new repertoire and engage in discussion with participants about how and why performers, presenters, educators, researchers, and orchestras of all sizes can and should increase their programming of composers from underrepresented groups.
