CELEBRATING, ADVANCING & AMPLIFYING WOMEN IN MUSIC.
ABOUT US
DONNE is a charitable foundation that is here to make a positive change and to readdress the gender inequality within the music industry. Our main goal is to celebrate, advance and amplify women in music so that they are seen, heard and appreciated for their talent so they can leave a legacy of inspiration for future generations.
WHAT WE DO
We are passionate to help include, promote and support women in music. It is time to make a profound shift within the music industry for equal opportunities to rule irrespective of gender. Part of our goal is to raise profiles of women composers through history and today so that they can be more role models for the generations to come.

THE BIG LIST
The BIG LIST of Women Composers is an ever-expanding list featuring more than 5,000 women composers (and counting).
From pre-medieval composers to 21st century singer-songwriters, pick a country, a century, a music genre:
YOU WILL FIND A WOMAN THERE.

Someone, I tell you, in another time,
will remember us.
We are oppressed by fears
of oblivion.”
