About Institute for Composer Diversity

The Institute for Composer Diversity works to encourage the discovery, study, and performance of music written by composers from historically excluded groups. We do this to positively impact three important groups: the audiences and students who will engage with the music, the conductors, performers, and educators who serve to bring that music to those audiences and students and the composers themselves. WHAT WE DO ICD works in three main areas: databases, analysis, and action. Our databases encourage the musical community to discover works by composers from historically excluded groups. Our analytical studies show where diverse programming is occurring and where it is needed. Finally, we provide straightforward and effective ideas for more diverse and inclusive repertoire decisions.
