If ensembles are to reflect the communities they serve

And here I thought musical ensembles were there to make the best music possible.

Silly me.

A few years back, in one of the Scandinavian countries they actually pushed to have a blind audition for some classical music competition... The final winners ended up being all white males and the shrieking harpies who pushed for the blind audition aspect lost their fucking minds.

It was such sweet beautiful justice.
