The Oberlin Women and Trans Composer Collective seeks to promote and raise awareness of women, trans and non-binary composers in three main ways: (1) collaborative project with performers to produce a body of work which will be performed in our annual concerts; (2) publication and promotion of works by emerging women and trans composers through various social platforms; and (3) outreach to schools and other institutions to encourage and empower young women and trans musicians in the Oberlin community. Our goal is to create a piece of sustainable infrastructure within Oberlin to uplift and celebrate women and trans composers in the department.​
