New Report Finds Significant Increases in Works by Women and Composers of Color Performed by American Orchestras

Institute for Composer Diversity’s 2022 Orchestra Repertoire Report, produced in partnership with the League of American Orchestras, shows gains across the board since 2015

A new report by the Institute for Composer Diversity, produced in partnership with the League of American Orchestras, confirms an increase in works by women and composers of color on stage.

The 2022 Orchestra Repertoire Report examines the programming of composers of color, women composers, and living composers by U.S. orchestras this season as well as longitudinal programming trends from 2015 through the current 2021-22 season. The data was gathered directly from season announcements and the websites of medium and larger budget orchestras (League budget groups 1-5).
