To Make Orchestras More Diverse, End Blind Auditions
- chmaynard 6mo agoOpinion piece from 2020.
- johng 6mo agoI mean, if you are trying to build the BEST orchestra, the one that hopefully sounds the best... why wouldn't you want to base it entirely off the skill of the person?
- db48x 6mo agoIt's fairly obvious that people who write articles like this don't really care whether the orchestra is any good or not. To them it is more important that the orchestra meet their arbitrary racial and gender quotas. Of course it’s stupid, since the audience wants the orchestra to be as musically excellent as possible. Why should the orchestra try to please anyone else?
