Danyel,
Why are the two ideas incompatible. There are many WONDERFUL pieces
by female composers. Easily enough to make up a first-rate recital.
And it's a great hook - that is, inducement to get people to come to
the concert, including those who wouldn't normally do so. I once did
a recital of all encore pieces! A lot of people came to that one.
Ditto Jewish composers, opera music (e.g. concert paraphrases like
the Bassi), etc.

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
