International Women and/in Musical Leadership Conference | Faculty of Arts

Musical leadership remains ones of the most male-dominated musical areas.
As late as 2013, female conductors achieved a significant first, when Marin
Alsop became the first woman to direct the Last Night of the Proms.
Although female composers, songwriters, and performers have attracted
significant scholarly attention, the issue of women’s musical leadership
remains intriguingly under researched. This conference – timed to coincide
with International Women’s Day 2019 – seeks both to redress this by
focusing upon the participation of women in musical leadership (understood
in the broadest possible sense) and to promote academic-practitioner
dialogue.





Keynote Speaker: Jenni Roditi



Musical leadership remains ones of the most male-dominated musical areas.
As late as 2013, female conductors achieved a significant first, when Marin
Alsop became the first woman to direct the Last Night of the Proms.
Although female composers, songwriters, and performers have attracted
significant scholarly attention, the issue of women’s musical leadership
remains intriguingly under researched. This conference – timed to coincide
with International Women’s Day 2019 – seeks both to redress this by
focusing upon the participation of women in musical leadership (understood
in the broadest possible sense) and to promote academic-practitioner
dialogue.



In addition to a keynote address by leading practitioner Jenni Roditi, the
conference will also feature a roundtable debate, and two evening
performances at London’s Club Inégales. Club Inégales have, since 2011,
presented some 100 gigs with artists from around world music-traditions
collaborating with resident band Notes Inégales, who draw players from
across genre. The first evening will be hosted by club director and
composer Peter Wiegold, who usually uses a mixture of score, conduction and
improvisation. This evening, along with working with new scores by female
composers, former Academy Inégales female graduates will be invited to lead
the band. The second evening performance will be from Tic, Roditi’s
professional improvisers’ choir, led by Roditi.
