Mission
The Kapralova Society is a non-profit arts organization based in Toronto, Canada. Founded by Karla Hartl in 1998, the Society's mission is to promote the music of Czech composer Vitezslava Kapralova (1915-1940), and to build awareness of women's contributions to musical life. To this end, the Society awards a competition prize for the best interpretation of a Kapralova art song, publishes research on Kapralova and other women in music on its website and in its online journal, and supports projects that make available Kapralova's music in print, on record (first releases), and in performance (world premieres).

The Kapralova Society is an associate member of the IAWM.
