At Edition·S we find it important to aim for a gender-balanced repertoire in the world of classical and new music.
At Edition·S we are proud to include more and more works written by composers that are women in our catalogue. We are still far from a gender-balanced list of published composers, but we are proud to represent works by a number of great female composers spanning a century: from Nancy Dalberg's 1915 String Quartet no.1 to a growing list of contemporary works.
