For three decades the LAJS has been a strong advocate for women in the arts.According to a recent report* by the nonprofit Donne, Women in Music, only 11.45% of scheduled concerts worldwide included compositions by women, and only 5% of all compositions scheduled over the course of the season were composed by women.For 30 years we have championed women in music through commissioned works, performances of pieces by women composers, fostering young women as up-and-coming artists, as well as featuring prominent guest artists in their respective fields.Thank you for helping us give voice to these amazing women in music!
