Donne Foundation Reports

BBC PROMS 2024 Programming Analysis 

JULY 2025

The Donne Foundation’s latest report introduces a vital new data point for measuring inclusion: time.

This additional data point will feature in every future report alongside the existing metrics, for example the number of works by women and global majority composers per concert, and overall number of women and global majority composers across the season.

This new report uses the 2024 BBC Proms as a case study, revealing that despite progress, deep gender and racial disparities remain.

"I founded the Donne Foundation not simply to highlight inequalities, but to help drive change through ideas, solutions, partnerships, and exciting challenges. The more diversity we bring to our stages, the more inspiration we create for future generations. Bringing more music by women and overlooked composers to our stages gives audiences the chance to fall in love with it. That is the transformation we seek. Let’s make the impossible possible. Together. I’m excited to invite you on this journey."
