Women Composers Collective (WCC) is a dynamic community dedicated to amplifying the voices of women composers.

Founded on the belief that representation in composition matters, our collective serves as a platform for women to share their music, connect with like-minded artists, and engage with audiences in meaningful ways.

We aim to foster artistic collaboration, provide professional development opportunities, and champion new works that push creative boundaries.

Through concerts, workshops, and mentorship, we cultivate a supportive space where innovation and expression can thrive.

​

Whether you’re an emerging composer or an established artist, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of music.

Our mission is to uplift and empower women composers in a variety of genres (classical, jazz, and more) throughout the world to create and perform new music by fostering a collaborative, intercultural, and supportive community, beginning here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
