Canadian League of Composers Gender Parity Pledge:

UltraViolet pledges to maintain gender parity in our programming and commissioning. We welcome the opportunity to add our voice to a growing international movement that acknowledges artistic choices must be representative of the gender diversity within the community of creators. We invite our audiences and the Canadian composition community to hold us accountable and encourage us in reaching our goal.
