We speak to researcher Christina Scharff and Orchestra Official for the Musicians’ Union, Morris Stemp, about the figures, plus Opera North’s Richard Mantle and Michael Garvey of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales tell us about how their orchestras deal with the issue. And bassoonist Amy Harman tells us about her experience of being a minority in a major London orchestra.
