The mission of New York Women Composers, Inc. is the betterment of conditions for all women composers. This in turn depends on the climate of acceptance for women composers in general rather than for a few notables, whose successes are often used to dismiss the claims of other women. The goal of New York Women Composers, Inc. is for music by women to succeed because of merit, regardless of a composer's gender. Activities include concerts, the online catalog, networking, and member-initiated endeavors. This page uses the early version of the database.
