Why does Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart love men SO MUCH?
Look them all! There is not one female featured artist all summer!
Of course I’m not suggesting that a series should book a woman simply because she’s a woman, but surely some female performers’ Mozart interpretations live up to Mostly Mozart‘s standards?
I suppose we can be consoled by the fact that, while there isn’t a woman to be found, all the men above are ethnically diverse. Oh wait.
Had your fill of white men for the day? But you haven’t seen the Featured Composers page, yet!
Yay for classical music! We are The Most Inclusive Thing in the Land.
This reminds me of a few other photo spreads, also from the Greater Lincoln Center family:

Thank you! When I got the brouchure and noticed the all male line-up I was very upset- and not surprised. Lincoln Center has often had only male artists in the featured and might I add, very well paid performances.
It makes me so angry I can barely type! I hope you are sending email to the org.’s Board of Trustees.
While we are all trying to stay afloat in the aftermath of all the looting of our economy by the Masters of the Universe the Masters of Art are busy making sure their anointed sons-and-heirs will survive the triage.
Not a peep out of anyone that the wonderful G.I. Bill just passed will set women back decades. As one who went to college in the Dark Ages of the first G.I. Bill, I can assure you that it will– just as Veterans Preference on the Civil Service exam has reinforced the Glass Ceiling. Contempt for women is part of the Warrior Code.
I would be more outraged if any of this mattered. Honestly, this is about as culturally relevant to anyone under 40 as the typewriter. Personally I hope they continue along this line of programming and bury this dinosaur forever.
Oh dear Lincoln Center. Oh dear.
And people puzzle over why audiences for classical music are shrinking.
Although to be entirely upfront here, you could have pointed out that the two featured non-concert productions, John Adams’ “A Flowering Tree” and the Mark Morris Dance Group, only feature one white dude in the two main publicity photos.
Methinks “MC” = “LC”, as in, someone from Lincoln Center!
Isn’t it just as bad that they think white men will sell the most tickets?
it always happens in times of difficulty. they’re circling their wagons. making room for all that diversity cuts the pie up into smaller pieces. clearly, women are the culprits!
Actually reminds me of the faces I saw on TV at the McCain concession speech…http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/04wGbc4dHRgTt/610x.jpg
