PRS Foundation support women in music debate
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 April 2010
Following the Association Of Independent Music’s recent discussions about the lack of women, and diversity in general, in the music industry, especially at the higher executive level, the PRS For Music Foundation is now involved in an event which will “explore why women are outnumbered six to one amongst registered music creators and songwriters”.
The panel debate is being staged as part of the Sound & Silents programme – a series of events staged by Bird’s Eye View featuring live scores for films all written by cutting edge female artists – and will feature contributions by Speech Debelle, Mira Calix, Rachel Portman and Janis Susskind. Miranda Sawyer will chair.
Confirming their support for the event, PRS Foundation Co-Director Vanessa Reed told CMU: “If we want women to maximise their creative talent, we need to work across the creative industries so that we can understand the barriers and to raise awareness of the current status quo”.
The panel takes place on 24 May at 7pm at Kings Place in London.
