ELNA – Equality Library for Nordic Art music – is a database of works by women and non-binary composers from the Nordic countries in the genre of Western art music.
The database is made possible by a collaboration of organizations and individuals across Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Designed for global reach, ELNA provides musicians, ensembles and teachers worldwide with easy access to a rich repertoire of underrepresented voices in the field of art music.
The project seeks to elevate the presence of gender-minoritized composers and contribute to a culture of diversity, both within the Nordic region and on the global art music stage.
