This Orchestra has some upcoming concerts that show it is trying to get away from the western canon and innovate. One upcoming concert is called Old American Songs and Spirituals, representing many American artists as well as showing different types of music. These American artists are people of color as well, which helps to represent more people.

A theme throughout these orchestras is that if they break away from the normal canon, it is an unusual thing to do. The "normal" thing to do is hold a concert of the classics made by German men hundreds of years ago. Women or people of color are not represented on a regular basis. I get the feeling that if a minority is represented, it is because the orchestra made an effort to include them.

This Orchestra has a concert coming up of a woman performing Stravinsky's concerto in D major. Although a woman is performing, once again it is a man's piece that is being performed. Another concert coming up is 80's themed, yet most of the pieces that will be played are made by males, with mention of one female's song and one Person of Color's song.

However, the traditional canon pieces that we see from Bach and Tchaikovsky far outnumber the non-canon pieces. There are many upcoming concerts that will play famous pieces, and in that regard this Orchestra has not deviated from the norm.

I'd like to hear different groups represented on a regular basis, rather than rarely.
