watched a documentary about blind-interview band players as people accused the selection committee is race-biased.

after a true blind interview is done, the result is way more biased than before, so they cancelled that immediately, and replaced it with a process called 'holistic review'.



Here's an article from 2020 about the New York Philharmonic: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/16/arts/music/blind-audition...

Blind auditions are probably not going away anytime soon.

The ugly truth about orchestral musicians is that nowadays (with the general downturn in ticket sales) it's not much a living. There are far fewer professional orchestral musicians than there were 50 years ago. Representation on a ship that's slowly sinking is not, IMO, incredibly pressing.

How is a 'true blind interview' more biased? or do you really mean, they didn't get the outcome they wanted?


correct,they did not get what they wanted
