Music@Menlo 2020



UPDATED: Because I counted and originally published the 2019 numbers.

Well, I've got an email from Music@Menlo, and....wow, their roster of artists is something else. On this page, there's a 3 x 16 grid of artists, plus a row of 2 that is, 50 photos in the grid. There are 48 individuals and 2 string quartets, so, 56 individuals. Of these, 14 are women. (This is slightly better than 2019.)

That's completely astonishing, in 2020.

Of the works on the regular series of eight concerts, not one is by a woman. Not going to bother looking over the Carte Blanche and other series.

Good work, Music@Menlo!

You haven't missed anything.

We know what Menlo is like; this is no surprise.

There's always the hope that they'll notice what century they're in.
