The orchestra survey conducted by the German Music Information Centre (miz) among all publicly financed orchestras provides for the first time a detailed breakdown of the proportion of women and men in the individual voice groups as well as in the positions. The result shows that women are strongly represented at 39.6 per cent. However, they are underrepresented in leadership positions, especially in the top orchestras. There, their share is 21.9 per cent, while it is 30 per cent on average in all orchestras.

The methods and data of the miz orchestra survey can be read in the results report of the study. The report is only available online.
