Rehearsal Orchestra joins Keychange

Wednesday, May 19, 2021

We are happy to announce that Rehearsal Orchestra has signed up to the Keychange initiative. Keychange is an international gender equality campaign which invests in emerging talent whilst encouraging festivals, conferences and a growing range of music organisations and institutions to sign a pledge to include at least 50% women and under-represented genders in their programming, staffing and beyond.

The Keychange initiative is led by Reeperbahn Festival, PRS Foundation and Musikcentrum Öst, supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

As a musical training organization which simulates professional working conditions, Rehearsal Orchestra recognises the importance of providing a gender-balanced and diverse environment in setting future professional standards. Our work in nurturing musicians must address sector-wide imbalances within our own work, so that these may become a thing of the past in the orchestras of tomorrow. This is why we have committed to the Keychange 50/50 pledge.
