“United Voices 4 Peace and the United Nations Symphony Orchestra (UNSRC) have partnered to bring to life the “Global Women in Music” initiative.

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day 2023 and in the margins to the Conference of the Status of Women (CSW 67), the “Global Women in Music” is the first, one of a kind concert by the United Nations Orchestra – exceptionally conducted by Maestra Anoa Green – performing a full program featuring pieces of female composers to advance gender equality. The concert will feature 8 pieces from contemporary composers from around the world (Argentina, Iran, Ukraine, China, to name a few), one from Louise Farrenc (France) and Florence Price (USA) to honor their legacy.

 

Only five percent of the concert music scheduled around the world is from women composers, an astounding statistic. Our unique program aims to bring female composers and conductors to the forefront and spotlight their music and talent to raise awareness, motivate engagement, activism and change towards a more inclusive music industry and social environment.
