This performance is one of the side events of the UN Commission on Status of Women.

In 2021, on the concert programmes of the major world symphony orchestras, only 5.1% of compositions were by women composers. For many decades, women composers were nearly half of graduating classes at composition departments of major music conservatoires around the world, but the major orchestras still rarely feature their works.

The UN Symphony Orchestra will showcase diverse works by women composers from around the world. Our goal is to raise awareness of this issue and inspire change.
