People recognize music composers and classical artists, such as Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. But what about female composers or composers of color? According to Camille Jones, a senior violin performance major, female composers and composers of color’s music should be heard because they do not receive sufficient recognition or acknowledgment. Jones curated “Voices Unheard: Celebrating Diverse Composers” in 2018. Her and fellow University of Maryland School of Music students felt a need to play more diverse music to accurately reflect the diverse student population.
