Damkapellet

Damkapellet is a music collective formed in 2016 to bring diversity to the Danish music scene by highlighting and performing music by artists who define themselves as women, non-binary or transgender. The collective debuted on 8 March the same year at Koncertkirken, Copenhagen, celebrating International Women's Day.

As an ensemble, Damkapellet embraces large parts of art music, from newly composed music and improvisation to opera, baroque, children's performances, and performance art. They also compose works collectively as a group.

Since its foundation, the members of Damkapellet have been lecturing about female composers and gender structures, and performing regularly at festivals and in projects like Klang Festival, SPOT Festival, SPOR Festival, Ung Nordisk Musik Festival, Gong Tomorrow, Talk Town Festival, Københavns Musikteater, Kvindemusikfestivalen, children's concerts in Denmark and Russia as well as organising their own festivals and events.
