I don't see how this a solve-able problem.
The big risks you have to take to make it as a musician plus the difficulty and danger of touring life is a huge roadblock that men are just better equipped to overcome. Plus, intelligence for men and women has a very similar median, but the standard deviation for men is a lot more dramatic (so men are more likely to be super geniuses or super morons when compared to women). Combine these two effects and the talent pool for high level musicians is always going to be predominantly men.
