interesting thought no. 4

In this month’s International Musician, where orchestral position openings are posted this appeared. The Detroit Symphony also posted something similar, although a bit different. Keep in mind this is a paid position:


The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and
the National Repertory Orchestra
announce the following program:
ORCHESTRA TRAINING PROGRAM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSICIANS
(1 POSITION)

They proceed to state other details such as the date of the audition, the salary amount, an address to send your resume, etc. At the bottom of the ad reads this:

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

Really? Hm, interesting...
