Classical Music

that I was forced to resign from this year because of my health, has been doing blind auditions for a very long time. I know because I was the room monitor who makes certain nobody knows anything about the person auditioning but me. I don't know how many years I did that, 20 maybe and likely more. Played for a very long time.

While before we were mostly white men we are now a good mix with as many women and maybe a few more in some years than men. As for the rest, the ages are different with a wide range and the races are pretty mixed but still there are more white people than anyone else. We have had black players over the years but to be honest, not very many audition. I can't say why but the usual reasons are likely the culprit, but I know for a fact there is no discrimination going on at least during the auditions.
