Orchestra Database

The Orchestra Database

Welcome, and thanks for visiting the ICD Orchestra Database! This database contains the works of composers from historically excluded groups whose profiles you can find in the linked Composer Database. Please consider the following as you search:

  • Use filters sparingly. The more filters you add, the smaller the list of works. If you select several filters, the greater the chances that you may not find any works that match your search.

  • Embrace the browse! Feel free to explore works and composers you may not be familiar with.

  • There is more to come. This is an evolving tool with new works added regularly. It is not an exhaustive list of all repertoire by all composers of historically excluded groups; it only includes those who have completed their profiles. If you are a composer who wants to be added, please submit a profile to us!

  • Don’t stop here! The ICD recommends that programming diverse voices not be done to satisfy an occasional checkbox but should be a long-term commitment to intentionally present these works in programs moving forward.

  • Please help us improve. If you have questions or notice an error in a record, please contact us. Also, report any broken links here.
