While making music has the profound ability to touch and heal the soul, the intense physical and psychological demands of a music career can significantly strain musicians' well-being. This is especially true for women performers, who continue to strive for gender equality in the music industry. Our workshop aims to bring together scholars from the fields of music, psychology, and medical studies, alongside professional music performers, to explore the factors that enhance or hinder their well-being. Together, we will explore the unique challenges women face in their professional journeys and discuss strategies to support and improve their well-being in the demanding world of music. The workshop will take place at the University of Oslo and will be streamed via Zoom. A comprehensive programme will be available shortly.
