Canadian Orchestra Repertoire Report 2024

Now in its second year, the Canadian Orchestra Repertoire Report explores how we are programming female, non-binary, and IBPOC composers in 2024. This year’s report dives into the data with updates on the trends we saw in last year’s report. The research, led by Rich Coburn, meticulously analyzes over 24,000 from 51 Canadian orchestras from every budget category and every region of the country.

It also presents a brand-new programming tool. Built in consultation with orchestra administrators across the country, this tool shares every work programmed by a Canadian orchestra by a female or IBPOC composer, including instrumentation. It is designed for programmers who are looking for repertoire by more diverse composers.

This report is a collaboration between BIPOC Voices, Orchestras Canada/Orchestres Canada and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.
