In an attempt to continue the debate on gender equality within classical music, I have assembled an all-female orchestra which has over 100 members, which will perform repertoire of female and non-binary composers, conducted by a woman. The members consist of amateurs to professionals, from 18-60 years and many different nationalities. We will perform concerts with a versatile composition of the orchestra, so chamber music or solo works can also be played to introduce a wide range of music to the public. With this orchestra I want to give female musicians the chance to play on great stages and with great fellow musicians. I want to show people that musical talent or expression or technique are entirely unrelated to gender. It judges performance on non-musical criteria. Institutions and ensembles need to be more inclusive in programming, hiring, and treatment of women. Gender doesn’t define musical capabilities.

Out of Shadows and Solitude - Marga Richter
The theme to a superb BBC production from 1974, called _Shoulder to Shoulder_ . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_to_Shoulder
Really beautiful music, from an amazing opera by a young composer. Hope there comes more beautiful music by her
A superb rendition of this truly inspiring [ both words & music ] piece. Thank you.
I saw the production in San Jose and found it to be highly musical and comedic. A very successful new opera.
I love this overture. Beautiful! I agree with the others who said that this is a tad bit too fast. But I am so happy this beautiful music is played by different orchestras, so don’t let me discourage you!
Bravo!!
sounds very much like Richard Strauss, a good imitation, indeed
I liked the clip directed by Jane Glover better (the one used in the BBC documentary about Alma): perhaps this is just a poor recording. I though the original temp (coming out of the Adagio intro) was a bit fast.
One of the most beautiful overture ever written ! Really happy to discover this performance ! Perhaps, a little bit too fast...If you are interested in young composer of nowadays, please listen to the first symphony by Rodrigo Landa Romero. I would like it to be played one day by a real orchestra like yours.
So happy to discover this ! A great aria written by an incredible and marvellous composer !
It sounds really a good combination, shame that the film is at a distance. Certainly would like to hear group again . Many thanks..
Alma and Amira Willighagen sang this at a concert already in 2015, at least I could understand what they two sang. These two sopranos both are almost incomprehensible, a pitty since the the story telling is the most important.
I agree that the recording wasn't that great but they do it all very well in this performance
@@raymondkocken4483 It´s not the recording fault, it´s just two mediocre opera rhinos who can´t sing well but rather barks what they are told to bark.
@@johnojvind7641 ofcourse
I happened to be there and shook Alma Deutscher's hand asking to have a conversation with her.She kindly agreed but because of a misunderstanding it couldn't work...
I've been thereand enjoed it very much...
Bravo Dmitriy! Je bent een echte talent!!!❤❤
Such a funny aria and a perfect interpretation. Of course, under these circumstances, without the funny acting part, because that wouldn’t fit.
So, you want men to be killed because you have dance naked for your step father? Real nice, kid.
Bravissime!! Congratulazioni a tutte!
A Marvellous introduction!!
Wat een bijzonder werk. Mooi hoor !
Shout, shout, up with your song! Cry with the winds, for the dawn is breaking; March, march, swing you along, Wide blows our banner and hope is waking. Song with its story, dreams with their glory, Lo! they call, and glad is their word! Forward! hark how it swells, Thunder of freedom, the voice of the Lord! Long, long, we in the past Cowered in dread from the light of heaven, Strong, strong, stand we at last, Fearless in faith and with sight new-given. Strength with its beauty, Life with its duty, (Hear the voice, oh hear and obey!) These, these, beckon us on, Open your eyes to the blaze of day. Comrades, ye who have dared First in the battle to strive and sorrow, Scorned, spurned, nought have ye cared, Raising your eyes to a wider morrow. Ways that are weary, days that are dreary Toil and pain by faith ye have borne; Hail, hail, victors ye stand, Wearing the wreath that the brave have worn! Life, strife, these two are one, Naught can ye win but by faith and daring; On, on, that ye have done But for the work of today preparing. Firm in reliance, laugh a defiance, (Laugh in hope, for sure is the end.) March, march, many as one, Shoulder to shoulder and friend to friend.
All women in ALL symphony orchestras need to wear something with SLEEVES. I don't care how 'young' are toned your arms are, sleeves please. This just does NOT look professional. Or professional enough....
bros got arm-ophobia
Sounds like a you problem. Last I checked, I don't hear with my eyes. Who cares what they're wearing if they play well.
Adopting a modest dress code even for girls in an orchestra is more professional looking, no pajamas in concerts, thank you. @@jemiller226
Sois todas fantásticas y mis felicitaciones para la chica de la guitarra y también para Pilar la trompista
Absolutely gorgeous version of this hymn . My daughter did a short video on Smyth during the covid19 lockdown ua-cam.com/video/JkgpFt5L-wQ/v-deo.html (in French)
On a l'envie d'aller chanter avec eux tellement c'est beau.
L'essentiel est la musique et c'est une réussite, mais quelle belle surprise aussi de voir un orchestre habillé de couleurs, c'est tellement rafraîchissant !
Thank you for that!
Voici une très belle interprétation, pleine d'émotion et de sensibilité! Bravo et merci!
Well done!!!
