No Broken Links — Editor
The No Broken Links Directory highlights solo and chamber music that includes flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, and/or horn (in any instrumental combination) by composers from communities who continue to face marginalization in the field of classical music and new music due to the institutionalization and codification of music education and canonization through Western ideals such as white supremacy, ableism, colonization, and male dominance, to name a few.
Over the years, we have learned that highlighting individuals based on a handful of specific identities doesn’t quite achieve this mission and that database resources such as ours may cause further harm if misused or misunderstood. In doing so, we have realized that our enthusiasm for learning a composer’s story is what truly motivates us. In this spirit, we hope to inspire No Broken Links users to make discovery and research a regular part of their practice, and we encourage you to reach out to us with feedback or questions.
