To wit. German composer, German Orchestra, German Conductor. Not very diverse, but great nonetheless! If this doesn’t move you, nothing will.

Thank you for your comments. In many ways many of us are like the Russians.

Many of us may be traced back to areas of modern Russia.

Russian composer, Russian Orchestra, Russian Conductor. You get my drift? Let’s not over-emphasize the diversity bit.

A very distinct possibility, actually. Forgot Panama on my previous short list.

Now for a little diversity - French composer, German Orchestra, Greco-American Soprano. But still Western Civilization.

But we have a genuine oxymoron here ==> Classical Music vs African Americans.

http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2009/09/5-classical-music.html

Africans like classical music. I hire Ethiopian expats to solve engineering problems and they dig Mozart. I hire American blacks to play bass and unfortunately they dig white powder. (This is not a blanket statement - just my personal experience)

I mean...it’s Cobb County, what can you expect?

Makes you wonder though, how many future Democrats there were in that choir that are now seeing the light and leaning more and more conservative?

Diversity my butt — how freaking diverse is the ASO? Bet it’s all Asian and Caucausian.

The lack of diversity of the ASO is astounding!

Go to their web site and look at the Leadership, Symphony and the Chorus.

Is it 99% white?

Thanks, I haven’t seen this. Very moving. But how about this? BACK TO BACH!

Over at the Conservative Treehouse, they’ve counted from a picture of the ASO and found that there is one black guy, ONE, in the entire orchestra.

Yep,
Every corporation in America will line up to hire you to get the credits for being so inclusive.
This gub mint is pathetic.
