DOV becomes unison
The German Orchestra Association (DOV) is repositioning itself and is now operating under the name "unisono". This is a reaction to a change in the job description and task profile.
The DOV was founded in 1952 by professional musicians. It brings together almost all members of professional orchestras and radio choirs as well as freelance musicians, lecturers at music academies and students. According to the DOV, the level of organization is over 90 percent.
Unisono currently represents the interests of around 12,800 members. The association has seen a large influx of freelancers in recent years, who have relied on strong representation of their interests, primarily due to their experiences during the pandemic.
