Friday Figures - 9 Jun

Today we look at the statistics and gender breakdown of the repertoire played on the Danish classical music and sound art stage – the thirs edition of Repertoire Statistik, brought to you by Danish Composers' Society, Art Music Denmark, Edition Wilhelm Hansen, Music Publishers’ Association Denmark, and Edition-S.

While the overarching figure illustrated here may seem a little dire, the report found that “Overall, the key figures at national level show progress on several parameters; more music written by women, more Danish music, more new music and a small increase in the number of premieres”. We absolutely love that the report really dives into specific areas where there have been improvements as it becomes necessary to analyse the concrete progress made here for gender parity in the repertoire and implement these across the board.
