The article explores how the German orchestra, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, has addressed gender disparity by requiring female composers in every orchestra concert. Topics discussed include sexism in classical music history, the inclusion of more female artists in the 2023-2024 season of the orchestra led by director of artistic planning Marlene Brüggen, and some musicians' skepticism about the effectiveness of the orchestra's gender requirements in programming.
