Most anyone who reads this and cares about classical music has probably already heard about this recent article in Cleveland’s weekly alt-newspaper, Scene.
It addresses the lack of audition screens at Cleveland Orchestra auditions and the influence of concertmaster William Preucil on the orchestra. I won’t comment, because I have no firsthand knowledge of any of the issues at hand, but those currently on the audition circuit may find this enlightening (or at least in agreement with what they have heard through the grapevine).
Nice pic
