The Hedberg Talks: Heroines of Composition

Featuring a panel of leading female musicians and composers, this conversation explores the intersectional challenges that women face in the music industry, and those pushing the boundaries to build more inclusive communities.

In celebration of Heroines and International Women’s Day 2023, Van Diemen’s Band Artistic Director Julia Fredersdorff is joined by virtuosic percussionist and director of Ensemble Offspring Claire Edwardes, and UTAS Conservatorium of Music Lecturer and Composer Associate Professor Maria Grenfell to discuss the importance of amplifying women’s voices, the necessity of representation, and the value of mentorship.
