The new report, titled A Bittersweet Symphony, surveyed 410 participants from the music industry and conducted focus groups and in-depth interviews. Its findings highlight the struggle that those in the classical music sector face when having balance work and supporting children, elderly or sick family members. The study said that self-employed women - over 85% of whom have parenting and caring responsibilities - reported a pay penalty of £8,000. Women with caring responsibilities were also found to be twice as likely to turn down work due to highly gendered work and caregiving structures in classical music. “There is greater impact on women, who are likely to work and earn less, and those without social capital,” the report says. Also highlighted, are the logistics（后勤）and financial demands arising from touring and working away from home, the lack of affordable, flexible, ad-hoc childcare for working musicians, and the lack of support mechanisms（机制）within the classical industry. The report calls on industry leaders to create a classical music sector that works for everyone. It highlights flexible working, more advanced scheduling, and sharing best practice within the industry as key next steps. PiPA will be bringing together a working group comprising of Black Lives in Music, Help Musicians, Independent Society of Musicians, Liverpool Philharmonic, Musicians’ Union, Phonographic Performance Limited, Royal Opera House and Scottish Opera to develop a best practice charter（章程）to address the challenges raised by ‘Bittersweet Symphony’.
