Explanation:

To determine what the author provides, we analyze the evidence: the author presents a statistic from a nationwide survey (1.3% of music performed by 85 American orchestras in 2016 - 2017 was by women) to support the claim that orchestras should perform more women - composed pieces. So the author provides statistical evidence (or survey - based evidence) to back up the argument.
