Association of Canadian Women Composers (ACWC) L'association des femmes compositeurs canadiennes (AFCC)

The Association of Canadian Women Composers advocates for and promotes the work of women who write music across Canada. The organization provides performance opportunities, commissioning support, and networking platforms that help female composers gain visibility and economic sustainability in a field historically dominated by men. ACWC connects its members with concert halls, festivals, broadcasters, and recording labels, while also offering mentorship and professional development resources. Based in Toronto, the association maintains a database of members' compositions and works to increase their presence in concert programming, recordings, and educational curricula. By creating spaces where women composers can collaborate and share their work, ACWC strengthens the diversity and vitality of Canada's music landscape.
