Ep 3 - To Screen, or Not To Screen?

The screened audition process was adopted by orchestras in the
70’s and 80’s to try to reduce bias in the hiring process- but is
it still working? This episode we look at the role of an
orchestral musician in the 21st century and discusses how to
change the paradigm to achieve diversity and inclusion through
music. This is Part Three of our “Behind the Screen” series that
takes a deep dive into the past, present and future of orchestral
auditions.


Featuring the voices of ESO Music Director Emeritus Bill Eddins
and Afa Dworkin, President and Artistic Director of The Sphinx
Organization.
