Orchestral premieres and the NEA
The Summer 2013 edition of Symphony , the official magazine of the League of American Orchestras, brings us the (surprising?) news that nothing new is happening for women composers in the world of orchestral music.

Where Are They?
Why is it easier for a woman to become an astronaut and fly into outer space than to get an opera performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, or for that matter, almost any other major opera house in the world? A lot of very fine operas have been and are being composed by women, but no one hears them. Today's world of opera composers is truly a Boys' Club. Should women composers wait longer? What for?
