Ricky O’Bannon of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has collected data to produce an infographic that gives an illustrated overview of 21 major orchestras of the United States. The infographic reveals social trends of the composers played. For example:
– Female composers account for only 1.8% of the works performed.
– 9.5% of all pieces performed have been written since the year 2000.
