The UK organization Donne, Women in Music<\/a> released a report on repertoire programmed by 111 orchestras in 30 countries. The findings demonstrate a widespread, staggering lack of diversity in the composers programmed by orchestras worldwide.<\/p>\n What\u2019s up:<\/strong> Earlier this month, the UK organization Donne, Women in Music, released a report<\/a> entitled Equality and Diversity in Global Repertoire. The report surveyed the repertoire of 111 orchestras across 30 countries over the 2023-2024 season. Led by Elizabeth Hardman and Gabriella Di Laccio, the report analyzed 16,327 compositions. It found that 7.5% of works were composed by women, of which the majority were white. White men composed 89.3% of scheduled works.<\/p>\n What it means:<\/strong> Study leader Gabriella Di Laccio described the reports as a call to action for the classical music industry. In 2024, classical music organizations have no excuse not to program the countless masterful works by racialized, non-binary or female composers. The study also names<\/a> the orchestral world\u2019s most and least inclusive programmers and details which composers are most performed.<\/p>\n Do we want classical music to reflect the multicultural, vibrant world in which we live? Or are we content for it to remain a vestige of the colonialist, patriarchal world of the past? These are the questions Donne, Women in Music\u2019s important study evokes. Let\u2019s hope the right people are asking them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UK organization Donne, Women in Music released a report on repertoire programmed by 111 orchestras in 30 countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":13756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[360,25,3],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/MUSIC-GENDER-REPORT-2024.jpg","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13755"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13755"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13758,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13755\/revisions\/13758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13755"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=13755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
