Quick Quiz…
Can you name a woman composer?
Can’t think of any?
Don’t feel bad. We are here to help.
Only 13.5% of composers are women. We’re here to educate those about these few composers and promote new up-and-coming female artists.
Also, 10% of conductors are women. 5% of music programmed in major orchestras each year are composed by women. Some orchestras didn’t allow women until as late as 1997.
