It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: On the other hand,

Two problems with that, Scott, at least under US law: (1) Ms. Lisitsa is an independent contractor, and not an employee, and so the federal employment discrimination law you cite would not apply to her; (2) Only federal employees or employees of federally-assisted programs are protected from discrimination based on political affiliation.

New York State, and especially New York City, have their own more stringent anti-employment discrimination laws, but few other US jurisdictions do.

Sorry, but if you want private free enterprise with minimum government "interference", you'll have to accept the right of orchestras to refuse to hire Ms. Lisitsa due to her political views. They have that right.
