Ahoy, Elaine et al:
I believe we can and should freely opine without reference
to Maestro Chen's race. And if we'd be diligent to scratch for some of
the facts pertinent to Sinfonietta's divergent programming decision,
chances are high that she had very little clout on the matter. Available
reports and stats show that most Conductors of orchestras that have
gone this route for new audiences usually ONLY reluctantly obliged their
administration's paradigm shift. So, it really would not be fair to
level the blame - if any at all, in my view -exclusively on Maestro
Chen. And if I may reiterate, it would be fair and indeed appropriate to
leave her race out of this discussion...
In peace,
