The Unholy Trinity of Privilege in Classical Music: A Conductor's Perspective on Gender Balance
Ben Glassberg-Frost, an orchestral and operatic conductor, discusses the gender imbalance in his profession, citing a study by the Association of British Orchestras which found that only 4 out of 100 titled conductor positions were held by women. He shares his personal experiences and observations of gender bias in the industry, including an incident during a student conducting competition. Glassberg-Frost argues for the importance of role models, early access for women, and the need for organizations to actively promote diversity. He describes his own efforts as a Music Director in France to program works by female composers and to consider women for conducting roles, advocating for positive discrimination as a temporary measure to improve diversity. He expresses hope for a future where the term 'female conductor' is obsolete and diversity is the norm.
