Conductor Bill Eddins has another incendiary blog post, this time about racism on orchestra boards. Eye opening, to say the least. Read it and pass it along to your friends, especially if they serve on non-profit boards.

One reply on “racist boards? you betcha”
Interesting… but not surprising. These boards are probably also completely out of touch with the socio-economic realities in their community and view musicians as laborers/commodities.
