PROJECT W: WORKS BY DIVERSE WOMEN COMPOSERS
About the album:
Project W is an album by Chicago Sinfonietta with the purpose of promoting women composers. According to Jarrett Goodchild:
"Anybody who frequents orchestra concerts can pick up on the lack of diversity on the program. It is estimated that only 1.3% of all works programmed in the 2016-2017 season were written by women. The ratio of conductor positions is not much better landing at 4:1 men over women, and 10:1 when looking at just music directors positions. The Chicago Sinfonietta, with Mei-Ann Chen on the podium, is looking to help correct these numbers".
