Celebrating Women in Music at

Festival of the Girl 22

Did you know no women were allowed to play in Orchestras in the UK until 1913? Vienna took this a step further and did not allow women to participate until 1997. 

There is an abundance of beautiful music written by women, however only 7.7% of classical music performed in 2021-2022 was by female composers. 

At Arco we work hard to represent a diversity of composers and music to all our young musicians. Beethoven wrote fantastic music, but so did Florence Price.

On the 9th of October we celebrated our female musicians and a diversity of composers by performing at Festival of the Girl 22.
