Vorlage:Infobox journal Vorlage:Italic title Women in Music was an American newsletter founded in July 1935 by its publisher and editor, Frédérique Petrides (19031983), then the conductor of the Orchestrette Classique – an orchestra based in New York made-up of all women musicians. The publication ran until December 1940. The thirty-seven extant issues have been reprinted in the 1991 book by Jan Bell Groh (1936- ) Evening the Score: Women in Music and the Legacy of Frédérique Petrides.[1]

The publisher

Frédérique Petrides was a pioneering Belgian-American conductor, who, as founder and conductor of the Orchestrette Classique (19321943) premiered works by composers including Samuel Barber, Paul Creston, David Diamond and Ralph Vaughan Williams (in Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, now Weill Recital Hall).[2][3][4] While serving as music director of the Orchestrette Classique, and under its auspices, Petrides concurrently, with the help of her journalist husband, Peter Petrides (18961978), edited and published the Women in Music newsletters.[5]

Years later in Manhattan, Petrides established and conducted the West Side Orchestral Concerts, the Carl Schurz Park concert series, and the Student Symphony Society. In the 30's in Tarrytown, New York, she established and conducted the Hudson Valley Symphony Orchestra.[6]

The publication

Women in Music was founded in the summer of 1935 for the purpose of enlightening the public with little-known historical facts and current developments pertaining to women conductors, composers, instrumentalists, singers and women-led orchestras. Its scope was not limited to contemporary musicians – it chronicled the activities of women musicians from Ancient Egyptian times to the then present.

The publication was sent free-of-charge to newspaper and magazine editors, libraries, music schools, institutions, and individuals in New York and elsewhere. It was the first, and as of 2010, still stands as the only publication of its kind in music journalism. The publication had a circulation of over 2,500.[7]

Major print media, including music journals, general magazines, and newspapers have cited Women in Music as a prime source for opinions, facts, and quotes. Some of the newspapers include The New York Times; New York Sun; New York World-Telegram; New York Daily News; New York Post; Baltimore Sun; Chicago Tribune; San Diego Union; Los Angeles Times; Long Beach Press-Telegram (California); the Philadelphia Enquirer, and publications that drew articles from Everybody’s Weekly syndication.[8]
