Music is universal. Music does not discriminate.

It is the business around classical music that continues to impose boundaries; often unconsciously, at times rather deliberately. Although the majority of conducting students at conservatories today are women, female conductors are still vastly underrepresented on concert stages and in opera pits.pura musica is dedicated to supporting a select group of exceptionally gifted female conductors on their way to where they belong: in front of the most prestigious orchestras.

What is true for female conductors is equally true for female and other underrepresented composers. With our special project series, we support musicians dedicated to the performance of works by marginalized composers.
