    Jessica Horsley (initiator and conductor)
    Where did the idea for the project come from?

    In 2013, somewhere between Prokofiev’s 5th Symphony and Beethoven’s 6th, I thought to myself that it would be nice to conduct something written by a woman. Whether there was any repertoire? (That an internationally-trained musician didn’t know the answer to this question is certainly telling!) I started digging, made some amazing discoveries, and launched the project frauenkomponiert.

    We aim to:

    give a voice to women composers and recognition to their work(s)
    spread our enthusiasm for these courageous women and their splendid music
    contribute to the variety of concert programming and thereby enrich the music world
