I suspect I see more of them on local programs than you do

Of course, I could be wrong! ;-)

I'd love to see those programs, from Lafayette! We attended - tinear 12:43:45 08/29/21 (1)
KCS performances, but have yet to experience a Chinese selection. Same story in Eugene where your favorite female musician, Marin A, wielded the baton. Neither of her successors selected Asian composers, either, as I recall.

I wonder if you've wondered about the paucity of female conductors/directors in major orchestras? And Asians? There is so much diversity among "the ranks," now, that it is a little glaring that none have broken that ceiling, save for Alsop. I don't mean guest conducting, special program gigs, or the like. I mean permanent positions with major orchestras.

  I'm hardly restricted to Lafayette, and both the SF Symphony and the Berkeley Symphony have presented programs with some of the composers on oldvinyl's list. Probably has to do with the ethnic make-up of our region. After all, we're so much more DIVERSE than you are in Kansas City.
  "none have broken that [major orchestra conductorship] ceiling, save for Alsop"? Really? In the first place, Alsop hardly deserves her position, as many players in the Baltimore SO will tell you, including one who contributed to this very forum a few years ago. But in any case, you forgot about Joann Falletta in Buffalo, or (going a bit further afield) Mirga with the CBSO. Maybe we should have quotas for symphony orchestra leadership - I'm sure you would resonate with that idea! After all, it doesn't matter how competent someone is, as long as they're the desirable race and gender, right? But wait, you omitted trannies from your remarks! Do you have something against our transgendered brothers and sisters? Why do you persist in omitting them from your advocacy? It's hard to perceive this as anything other than a put-down of the trans community - you cur*!
