Bachtrack Shares 2022 Statistics on Classical Music Performance

04-18-2023

Bachtrack has released their annual statistics report on classical music performances around the world. The numbers are encouraging: while the top ten composers are still dead white men, there are notable increases in performances of living and female composers. Last year saw a significant rise of 20th century music performances, along with nearly 50% female representation in the 20 mostperformed living composers. While Bachtrack did not collect data on composers’ ethnicities, the report credits the Movement for Black Lives for the increase in performances of works by living artists by U.S. orchestras. Read the full report on Bachtrack’s website.
