The world of classical music―particularly in its European home―was until fairly
recently only for white men. Women, it was believed, simply could not play like men.
They didn't have the strength, the character, or the ability for certain kinds of pieces・
Their lips were different. Their lungs were less powerful. Their hands were smaller。
But over the past few decades, the classical music world has undergone a revolution. In
the United States, orchestra musicians began to organize themselves, They formed a
union and fought for proper contracts, health benefits, and along with that came a push
for fairness in hiring. An official audition committee was established instead of a
conductor making the decision all by himself. Screens were erected between the
committee and the auditioner. As these new rules were put in place around the country,
an extraordinary thing happened: orchestras began to hire women. In the past years,
screens have become commonplace, and the number of women in the top U.S. orchestras
has increased fivefold. In Europe, too, more and more women have been hired in major
orchestras. The efforts and struggles of pioneer women like Abbie Conant have paid off at last.
