Composers per season

Number of distinct composers performed in a season.

Formula: distinct composer (person) names in the season; traditional, anthem, unattributed and joint credits are not counted
How to read it: 16 in 1842–43, 207 in 2025–26 (201 in 2022–23). The maximum is 298 in 2015–16.
Caveats: From 1.1 non-person credits are excluded, so counts are lower than in 1.0 (221 in 2025–26). Grows with the number of concerts; read with shares and HHI.
