The proportion of women in German orchestras has risen to 41 percent, according to the latest stats from the sector association, DOV.

That’s up from just 6 percent in 1971.

Among 129 fulltime orchestras, 14 are already more than 50 percent women.

The DOV head Gerald Mertens says: ‘In the foreseeable future, women will predominate.’
