Proms survey


WOMEN UNDER REPRESENTED?

I am always shocked to find no women in most so Titled
 "20th century British composers anthology" or "BBC Proms collection"
 CD's with no women represented at all, you'd think female composers don't exist? You'd be mistaken, there are amazing talents that need light (not because they are simply women but because their work is on the same level as men's).
What is going on with the UK Proms, biggest music festival in the world? 



Jennifer Fowler has compile statistics, check the Women in music website for more!
http://www.womeninmusic.org.uk/proms-survey.htm



Here is a quote:

The figures for women in the 2013 Proms season are:
Composers:7/130 (5.4%)[Last year was 9.2%]
Living composers:5/31 (16%)[Last year was 25%]
BBC Commissions:4/17 (23%)[Last year was 45%]
Conductors:4/57 (7%)[Last year was 8.6%]
Instrumental soloists:15/50 (30%)[Last year was 17.7%]


NB http://www.womeninmusic.org.uk is not womaninmusic.org , the mistake is easily done.

Winners’ biographies
Front prize winner Emily Doolittle was educated at Dalhousie University, Indiana University, the
Koniklijk Conservatorium in the Hague, and Princeton University, and has been Assistant Professor
of Music Composition at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle since 2008. Her doctoral research
was on the relationship between bird and other animal songs and human music, a field in which she
continues to be active. Other interests include traditional music, community music-making, and
music as a vehicle for social change.
Miriam Gideon Prize winner Liselotte Westerterp is a student at Temple University, finishing a BM
in music composition. She has worked as a performer, music teacher, and music therapist.
Writing mostly for chamber, vocal and orchestral acoustic settings, Australian composer Katy
Abbott, Glickman prize winner, leads the listener through a narrative of sound, exploring concepts of
home, place and human nature, frequently exhibiting a cheeky humour. A highly awarded, published
and recorded composer, Abbott cleverly juxtaposes contemporary flavours of traditional settings.
Katy also teaches composition at University of Melbourne where she completed her PhD and is now
an Honorary Fellow.

Festival, Austin Peay State University, and Chinese Fine Arts Society.
New Genre winner Paula Matthusen writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes
sound installations. Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space--real, imagined, and
remembered. Awards include a Fulbright Grant, two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers'
Award, a Van Lier Fellowship, and the Walter Hinrichsen Award from the American Academy of
Arts and Letters. Matthusen is currently Assistant Professor of Music at Wesleyan University.
Oliveros winner Haruka Hirayama was born in Japan and studied computer music composition with

the first Korean student to enter the NYU (GSAS) composition program, as well as to receive the
Henry M. MacCracken Fellowship. She studies with Elizabeth Hoffman.

was selected as the winner of the 2011 Bowdoin International Music Festival Composition
Competition and placed first in the Pennsylvania, Northeastern, and National levels of the Federation
of Music Clubs Junior Composers' Contests. Currently, Molly is studying at e Juilliard School in
New York City with Pulitzer Prize winning composer Christopher Rouse.
Anderson prize winner Ida Helene Heidel studied in New York, Paris, Bombay and Oslo. She is a
flautist as well as a composer and composes in several genres: contemporary, jazz, improv,

International WOMAN's DAY

SOME FACTS

http://www.un.org/en/events/womensday/

Worldwide today:

Up to 50% of sexual assaults are committed against girls under the age of 16.
Globally, 603 million women live in countries where domestic violence is not yet considered a crime.
Up to 70% of women in the world report having experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lifetime.
Over 60 million girls worldwide are child brides, married before the age of 18…
In the face of such unacceptable figures, the international community is strongly committed to change the plight of women.

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) requires that countries party to the Convention take all appropriate steps to end violence.

END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! 
1/3 of female population of the world is abused, raped, beaten up !  How can that be justified?
