Young Women Composers is now Wildflower Composers!
Our Name
Wildflowers are not constrained by specifics. They are a mix of colors, of sizes, of scents. They can (and do) grow anywhere, without restraint.
We are thrilled to announce our new name: Wildflower Composers.
We decided to change our name from Young Women Composers to Wildflower Composers to better represent the young composers we have promised to support, all of whom bring with them different experiences, backgrounds, and identities.
Our mission: to amplify the voices of gender-marginalized composers and work toward a more equitable future for contemporary music.
Check out our new website at wildflowercomposers.org and follow us @wildflowercomposers to learn more about our work.
Who We Serve
We serve composers who identify as part of the gender-marginalized community, which includes cis-women, trans-women, trans-men, and nonbinary persons.
The Wildflower Composers Festival (formerly the Young Women Composers Camp) will take place this summer at Temple University from July 11–22.
We are looking forward to our return to in-person programming this July! Our 2022 festival is open to any gender-marginalized student who is between the ages of 13 and 19. This summer, we will welcome an incredible faculty of composers and performers to lead students in group classes, private lessons, workshops, and a world premiere performance of new compositions.
All Wildflower composers receive:
1. Mentor–mentee relationship with a private composition teacher.
2. The chance to have a new work rehearsed & premiered by a professional performer.
3. Expand your knowledge of composition and related topics through workshops led by experts.
4. Join a growing community of young composers from all across the country.
Apply by April 1.
