Elevating the composers whose stories deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated — because uplifting every voice is how equity sings.

Unmuted: Music History in a New Key is a movement to intentionally recenter what we teach, who we honor, and how we tell the story of music. This vibrant series celebrates composers and songwriters whose identities and contributions have been historically excluded from history and the canon.

  • Composer biographies
  • Audio recordings and performance links

These posters are the kind of representation many of us didn’t have, but every student and creative deserves to see. Whether you’re an educator, artist, or advocate, Unmuted helps make music history more honest, inclusive, and inspiring.
