The organization is being discussed as a potential critique of the Vienna Philharmonic\u2019s long-standing male culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the buzz:<\/strong> On January 1st, 2025, the newly founded La Philharmonica featuring female members of the Vienna Philharmonic will present a New Years\u2019 concert in Vienna\u2019s Ehrbar Saal. Their concert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sn.at\/kultur\/musik\/la-philharmonica-neujahrskonzert-wiener-ehrbar-saal-170169523\">will feature works by female composers<\/a> curated and narrated by the musicologist Irene Suchy, entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/ehrbarsaal.at\/konzerte\/neujahrskonzert-der-komponistinnen\/\">1. Neujahrskonzert der Komponistinnen<\/a>. Featured composers include Gisela Frankl, Anna Gr\u00e4fin von Stubenberg, Leopoldine Blahetka, Constanze Geiger, Josefine Weinlich, and Mathilde Kralik interspersed with works by Johann Strauss II.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The commentary:<\/strong> While the musicologist Irene Suchy instigated La Philharmonica\u2019s concert, <a href=\"https:\/\/slippedisc.com\/2024\/12\/breaking-viennas-new-years-day-concert-is-women-only\/\">the concert has prompted discussions<\/a> regarding whether or not the female-dominant concert should be construed as a critique of the Vienna Philharmonic. From 1842 until 1997, the self-governing Vienna Philharmonic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernwheel.ca\/lifestyle\/vienna-philharmonic-once-an-all-male-ensemble-now-has-24-female-musicians-8405599\">was an all-male ensemble<\/a>. Now, 24 out of the ensemble\u2019s 145 musicians identify as female.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps La Philharmonica\u2019s concert will inspire increased gender diversity not only in the orchestra\u2019s musicians, but in its programming choices. An all-female composers\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wienerphilharmoniker.at\/en\/newyearsconcert\/newyearsconcert2025\">New Years\u2019 Day Vienna Phil concert<\/a> could be interesting, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, a new ensemble in Vienna featuring female members of the Vienna Philharmonic will present an alternative New Years\u2019 Day concert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":15751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[360,3],"tags":[495],"yst_prominent_words":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/12\/Female-Members-of-the-Vienna-Philharmonic.jpg","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15750"}],"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=15750"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15752,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15750\/revisions\/15752"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15750"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ludwig-van.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=15750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
