IMPORTANT: from the United Kingdom
Women in Music UK is a national membership organisation that celebrates women's music-making
across all genres of music. The organisation raises awareness of gender issues in music and
supports women musicians in their professional development. Suzanne Chawner is the professional
web editor who recently has revised the web site, www.womeninmusic.org.uk
The site contains:
a ‘What’s On’ section to which members regularly submit details of their activities;

a ‘Resources’ section written by Margaret Lucy Wilkins and containing useful bibliographic
information on the history of women composers;
a ‘Proms 2006 Report’ written by Jennifer Fowler in which she details press coverage of the
notorious 2006 BBC Proms season which contained no music by women composers;
a ‘Comps and Ops’ section, which is probably the best on-line list of competitions and opportunities
for composers, also regularly up-dated by Jennifer Fowler.
Socially, Women in Music UK has organised a series of WiM Teas. These are held prior to important
concerts in which music by women is programmed and are attended by members of Women in
Music. WiM Teas have been held at the BBC SO three day festival of Sofia Gubaidulina’s music
(The Hour of the Soul) at the Barbican, London, January 2007; the concert to celebrate the
centenary of the birth of Elisabeth Maconchy and 60 th birthday of her daughter, Nicola Lefanu, given
at the Purcell Room, London.
Throughout this decade, Angela Willes has been Chair of Women in Music, giving tirelessly of herself
for the benefit of British women musicians. In 2007, she decided to retire as Chair. At the 2007 AGM,
Sarah Coles was elected as the new Chair, along with several new committee members, bringing
with them fresh ideas and new expertise.

Importante: news dal Centro Veneto
Il Centro Veneto per le Donne in Musica nel suo primo anno di attività ha avviato una ricerca in
ambito regionale relativa alla presenza di giovani strumentiste e compositrici presenti e attive nei
Conservatori. E' emersa la presenza di ensembles già formati da sole donne, in particolare trio e
quartetto d'archi, interessate ad ampliare il loro repertorio con composizioni di donne.
Molte le pianiste che già studiano le compositrici "storiche" come Clara Schumann e Fanny
Mendelshon e interessate a collaborare con l'associazione.per quel che riguarda le studentesse di
composizione sono poche e non attive durante saggi o manifestazioni esterne.
Il CEVEDIM fa parte della Consulta delle Donne di Venezia e ha partecipato alle riunioni finalizzate al
progetto per l'apertura a Venezia della "Città Internazionale delle Donne"; il progetto, oltre che
lavorare alla ricerca di una sede per le attività, si è concretizzato in una prima manifestazione che ha
visto la partecipazione di alcune associazioni veneziane per le donne e per la pace.
A questo scopo. il nostro Centro ha preso parte ad una manifestazione svoltasi a Venezia il 9
ottobre 2006, presso l'Arsenale, in cui arte visiva, poesia e musica al femminile sono state proposte
al pubblico come un mezzo per l'incontro tra culture diverse per costruire un pensiero di pace.
Hanno partecipato: - Joyce Kozloff, artista visiva del gruppo "Artist against the War di New York

- Laura Guadagnin e Grazia Sterlocchi dell'associazione "Settima stanza " con letture di poetesse di
tutto il mondo sul tema della guerra - Francesca Viola, Annunziata Dellisanti alle percussioni e
Orsola Bollettini, soprano, dell'Associazione CEVEDIM, in una perfomance musicale che
accompagnava i momenti di lettura.
Dal 15 al 18 giugno si è svolta la prima manifestazione organizzata in collaborazione con il Comune
di Spinea e il settore didattico dei Musei Civici Veneziani.In questi giorni si è svolta una Clinic di
percussioni e danza terapia tenuta da Alessandra Belloni presso l'Oratorio di Santa Maria Assunta di
Spinea (Venezia)e il concerto finale "One woman show. Taranta-Dance of the ancient spider".
Alessandra Belloni da più di venti anni svolge accurate ricerche sul campo dedicandosi allo studio
dell'origine della tarantella - pizzica come danza di guarigione soprattutto per le donne.
Professionista affermata a livello internazionale propone nei suoi concerti i ritmi e le danze del Sud
Italia in un viaggio "focoso e percussivo" che riscopre antichi riti femminili magico-religiosi, canti
processionali in onore della Madonna Nera, tammorriate e canti di lavoro femminili. Compone inoltre
brani originali ispirandosi alle diverse culture musicali del mondo studiate durante i suoi numerosi
viaggi.
Il 18 giugno a Venezia, nel prestigioso Palazzo di Cà Rezzonico sede del Museo del Settecento, è
stata presentata l'associazione che è affiliata alla Fondazione Adkins Chiti Donne in Musica dalla
presidente Patricia Chiti che ha presentato il progetto "Music for the Mind" che propone di inviare
materiali musicali all'Accademia Nazionale di Montenegro grazie all'aiuto di BRESCE (Unesco di
Venezia). La Signora Adkins Chiti ha inoltre presentato una relazione sulla presenza femminile nella
storia della musica.
Questi eventi, seguiti con molto entusiasmo da molte donne, hanno dimostrato un notevole interesse
nel territorio per gli argomenti trattati e la richiesta di avere ulteriori manifestazioni simili e soprattutto
il desiderio di creare una rete di donne che si occupi del "settore musicale al femminile" poco
conosciuto rispetto ad altre forme d'arte.

Regroupement des Femmes dans la Musique« Groupe JANR Musik » RAPPORT 2005 - 2007
a. Création
Le Regroupement des Femmes dans la Musique est une initiative de Mlle Jolie ODIA Mbuyi qui y a
associé ses trois compères, ressortissants, comme elle, de l’Institut National des Arts (INA). Pour
mettre en exécution cet outil de promotion de la femme et de ses œuvres dans le domaine de la
Musique, le 28 Août 2005, ce rêve sera effectif avec la mise sur pied du Groupe« JANR Musik », qui
soit à même de faire connaître l’association et qui soit un canal de production et promotion de la
femme et de ses œuvres créatrice dans tous les styles, genres et formes mais en promouvant notre
culturel intangible qui tend à disparaître pour laisser la place à cette musique dite moderne mais qui
au fond n’a rien de telle qualificatif et c’est celle là qui capte plus la population, qui, à mon humble
avis a besoin d’un autre son de cloche. Pour cela, les femmes ont un grand rôle a joué dans tous le
domaine de la vie en générale et dans la musique en particulier. D’où la création de cette plate
forme.
b. Membres
Le Regroupement des Femmes dans la Musique compte à ces jours sept (7) membres effectifs et
plusieurs collaborateurs que nous faisons intervenir par rapport au besoin selon les compétences à
mettre à la disposition de l’activité ou événements à réaliser. Parce que n’ayant pas déjà les moyens
de fonctionner régulièrement, c’est-à-dire, l’association n’a pas un espace qui lui soit propice à
organiser des activités d’autofinancement pour subvenir à toute les dépenses qui couvre ne serait-ce
qu’une motivation, petite soit-elle, de ses administrés et assurer le fonctionnement administratif
conséquent ; toujours en quête des productions qui ne payent toujours pas bien (soit disant que le
groupe n’étant pas connu,…) et parfois, c’est gratuitement que nous nous produisons pour nous faire
juste un nom. Or, à ce stade, l’on devrait considérer le travail artistique et donner une chance aux
femmes de croire en ce qu’elles font. Et aussi, à ces dernières d’être convaincues et de convaincre
en mettant de côté toute considération de sa personne.
c. Catégories professionnelles des membres

Nous avons dans notre association : Six (6) artistes, une (1) Enseignante, deux Chercheuses, 1
Bibliothécaire, 1 Ethnomusicologue, 1 Chef d’orchestre, 2 Animatrices Culturelles, 6 Interprètes…
d. Projets
Depuis, notre création nous n’avons rencontré que des difficultés d’ordre organisationnel et
fonctionnel de tous genres. Pour cela, l’association ne pouvant couvrir ces frais, les membres n’ayant
pas de ressources pour les cotisations, doivent chercher ailleurs ou faire des extra moros que nous
appelons communément « zonzing » du moment où il est aussi difficile de trouver un marcher de
production qui nous permette de satisfaire tant soit peu le chef de tout un chacun. Nous avons
pensés qu’il serait mieux pour nous de créer d’autres activités à caractères culturelles au-delà de la
musique afin de permettre à notre association de vivre et de faire vivre celle qui ont les mêmes
problèmes que nous, c’est-à-dire les femmes dans la musique. Sur ce, pour les cinq ans à venir :
production et diffusion de nos œuvres sur supports CD, DVD, K7 ;
nous initions déjà un projet de festival pour les femmes qui débutera par des ateliers de
formation, résidence de création et séminaire en faveur des femmes dans la musique dans tout le
domaine pour la première étape en mars 2008 et la deuxième étape marquera la restitution et les
spectacles en Août 2008.
créer une chorale d’enfants à qui nous voulons transmettre une culture musicale qui
transformera la manière d’appréhender la musique, de défendre notre culture tant soit peu, qui ne
sera possible qu’avec une acquisition d’un espace pour notre association car c’est enfin de
compte la clef qui nous permettra de créer des activités d’autofinancement pour le
fonctionnement régulier et l’amélioration des conditions de travail que nous ne pouvons détailler
en si peu des lignes.

From the FREEMUSE NEWSLETTER NEWSLETTER 4 — 2007
Music will not be silenced: New Freemuse report With 14 video interviews and written overviews
of music censorship in countries as diverse as Algeria, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Ivory
Coast and Cuba, the new Freemuse report is the closest you get to a global overview of music
censorship today. And it is not a pretty picture! Based on the sessions at the 3rd Freemuse World
Conference on Music & Censorship in Istanbul last November, the new report 'Music will not be
silenced' gives an insight to a world unknown by many. For the first time in history Turkish musicians
and composers aging from 20 to 85 testified in public about their trials, torture and censorship in
Turkey. And for the first time we include a CD-R with video testimonies by artists, researchers and
journalists from more than a dozen countries. The report also includes two songs composed and
recorded specifically for Freemuse. Read more: www.freemuse.org/sw21038.asp
13 th International Festival of Contemporary Arts ¯ City of Women 3 rd to 13 th October 2007,
Ljubljana, Slovenia The programme for is being composed under the motto Laugh Out Loud!
Humour and art have something in common - what some find funny, others find sad or even scary,
and the other way around. There will be a lot of things at the 13 th City of Women to make us laugh:
the surprise of nonsense discovered within apparent common-sense, contrasting presentations, lighthearted
judgements, the combining of the allegedly incompatible and some brutally frank
discoveries… The Festival will present around 45 women artists from Australia, Austria, Bahrain,
Bangladesh, Belgium, BH, Canada, Germany, Hawaii, India, Italy, Japan, Philippines, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA. The City of Women anticipates a fruitful
interdisciplinary exchange! The Festival programme: http://www.cityofwomen.org/2006/en
